I would be careful with these kinds of sites as there is a very high chance that these kinds of websites could direct you to send bitcoin to a address/site that is not connected to the actual charity.

Is this a random made up date? Why can't every day be a bitcoin giving day?

+1 No "https", no charity registration/physical address shown, briefly checked bitcoin foundation events/blog - nothing there... There's some IRS paperwork pdf on their website, but no idea whether legit or not. Edit: the OP's account was registered in Dec 2013 and the posts are fairly consistent.

IRS approved, doing good on the daily. Working so hard we don't sleep There is a press release here on the Bitcoin Foundation website - https://bitcoinfoundation.org/press/There are multiple mentions in press releases from BitPay. There is a link on the Bitcoin Black Friday site. Another press release is coming out today. There is also this article - https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/bitcoin-enables-micro-giving-giving-tuesday/

It's great to have something like this, but I have never heard of this site.
How do we know that the donated coins are actually used for charities?
I'll do some more research and if I'm sure this is legit I will make a donation.

I totally agree with you ..Every Day is anew day for donations Yes, every day can be giving bitcoin day, of course! We are taking advantage of an international event Giving Tuesday and offering a Bitcoin alternative! It's about raising awareness and getting the mainstream population to see the benefits of Bitcoin and charitable giving These forums crack me up about everyone being suspect of everything. Doing your due diligence is definitely required, but I have to ask, what is it that you need to feel an organization is "legit?" I am genuinely interested. We have a website, our IRS paperwork up, I regularly make public appearances, I have a public twitter account, etc. etc.
