Hi All,
The BitGive Foundation was established to provide a platform for the Bitcoin community to give back to charitable causes on a global scale. We are focused on public health and environmental causes and choose reputable charities that have been vetted in order to make sure the donations are well spent and with organizations that are in good standing.
While not many charities accept Bitcoin, our first drive was for Save The Children Philippines Relief, and we helped move the ball forward with them to more broadly accept Bitcoin. They have received donations derived from Bitcoins from the BitGive Foundation and later GamingforGood. They also have an account with BitPay and are working towards more broadly accepting Bitcoin.
BitGive is also currently running a fundraising campaign for The Water Project who accepts Bitcoins! They are working to provide safe and clean water to communities in Africa. You can donate to our campaign with them here
