UNICEF Will Give Out Bitcoin Grants via Henrietta Fore's Cryptocurrency Fund

[Oneandpure]

UNICEF's thinking about cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and ether appears to be expanding a little bit. Instead of selling bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies they receive as contributions, Henrietta Fore and UNICEF announced that the organization will now receive donations in cryptocurrencies.
The vision is to redistribute it to help open up open-source technology projects.

“This is a new and exciting venture for UNICEF,” said Henrietta Fore, UNICEF Executive Director. “If digital economies and currencies have the potential to shape the lives of coming generations, it is important that we explore the opportunities they offer. That’s why the creation of our Cryptocurrency Fund is a significant and welcome step forward in humanitarian and development work."

This is a step in the right direction and its something that needs to be joyous about. I have known about UNICEF for a while and the understanding that I have got was that they only focus on donations from countries and not individuals but with this new line of thought coming from them, it shows they are open to a wide range of opportunities from the teeming youth population and are mindful of where the future of currency is going to. I hope this would be a project that would further announce the continual embedded advantage of crypto to the general populace.

But hey, perhaps they could also start to reduce their outrageous expenses, salaries, running cost, if they really want to help the kids.
Here is what they're paid for, an outrageous salary is given. Just for your information, there is a man paid about $400k annually in the sheet,  this money is enough to give 1 meal to 400,000 children, yep you heard it right.

Glad to see someone else is thinking with their head and figuring out what this is really about, they just want more money, obviously, they realized they could get something from the crypto community as well. As I say in my post, if they spend donated money for the welfare of the children as they should, the world would be a much better place.

Brainwashing media machine is obviously still works well because people still donate thinking that their money is going in the right hands. I would rather destroy my private keys than send any coins to UNICEF. $400 000 just for one man per year = 400 000 meals?

I have been part of donating to UNICEF for a while now, and I guess three months now as I have been approached and told that they have an excellent program for feeding and helping the kids that need them. I haven't seen any detailed helping, but they sent me some photobook with information about what they have done in my country. I believe that they would help the needy; it would only be in their conscience if they don't.

I asked them for some information about them accepting cryptocurrencies as a donation, and I think it's going to be beneficial for the community of Bitcoin. More applications would lead to more exposure to people, which is not bad, right?

UNICEF helping out the tech industry for a cause? I guessed that this is their only aim since this non-profit organization is really about helping oppressed children around the world and I would expect that UNICEF is just doing this so that if these tech companies become successful they will receive some financial help in return. The only problem I see here is that the donations they receive from crypto will not help the kids instantly but instead be a long-term plan where they seek companies like this payback in the future.

Helping tech industry? More like integrating with them. I don't know how you got that message from the topic but UNICEF only stated that they would now (was already up by around Sept-Oct) accept donations through Cryptocurrency. As for companies donating, well, we can take that as a donation in of itself, and I doubt any strings could be located there. The long-term plan you say should be primarily invested in the open-source technology projects they would invest in though, as to what the article has said so anyway.

I just re-read the article for you hoping that I misread some parts of it but you are wrong. UNICEF is not talking about crypto donations being accepted to their organization because they have done this a long time ago. They are talking about cryptocurrency grants which they will use the crypto donations they have receive in order to help these crypto-startups which I really would expect they are doing this because they want something in return in the future may it be some form of financial assistance or some kind of integration you are talking about.

There is nothing positive about the fact that someone will be able to donate BTC to UNICEF, they will take crypto and how this will help you and me? Maybe that person who have $400 000 annual salary will get some extra money in his pocket...

I know you are involved in Bitcointalk Charity program, and you know where that money is going exactly - why are you giving money to someone who claims to be doing something good with it? You ask for details, and you get photobook, read a post from LeGaulois and you will see where is your donations.

That's legit disgusting.

I would never be able to live with myself having a salary of +$400,000 knowing that I am being paid by people who donate to help people in need. I'm pretty sure that they do help quite a bunch of people world wide, but they could do far more if they stopped acting like a business that's profit oriented and needs to splash big money to attract the best people. It's a charity ffs.

I'm absolutely not againt people being paid money because they invest their time and dedication to their goal, but this can't be justified in any shape or form.

perhaps this is the most important aspect of this sector. With Bitcoin, money can be raised to charities without any intermediaries. Secret donors can also use this system. A great chance of advertising for Bitcoin. I think bitcoin addresses should be on every sign of these institutions.

a few months ago I also received information that UNICEF was willing to accept donations in the form of bitcoin and ethereum. and now there is new information that bitcoin also provides bitcoin grants. I think this is good news. with this policy, crypto users around the world can easily donate a part of their crypto to UNICEF. and with the acceptance of bitcoin at this UN agency, hopefully it can encourage other institutions or countries to also accept bitcoin. the actual use of bitcoin can encourage adoption of bitcoin.

UNICEF's standing for United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund where the community help many children more than 190 countries in the world have crisis from education, economic crisis and help many children faced war in their country, thousand or kindness by UNICEF's and we have appreciated of their hard work by giving donation with bitcoin and altcoin, they have received charity using bitcoin as for donation.

With this ways I think it brings more potential to reach the highest popularity in perfect time. Once it fully be implemented at UNICEF, the possibility of rising demand is always capable to occur someday. However, it won't be successful without the support of different countries who is willing to accept and adopt digital currency as their basic spending currency. Although there's no definite news stating that people actually are using bitcoin, hopefully the awareness will spread globally.
