Now anyone can easily and securely donate cryptocurrency to support any US charity and get a tax receipt. Every.org is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that helps people donate. Nonprofits can also get a free "Donate Crypto" button for their website.
This makes perfect sense. Crypto was born out of a mission-driven movement. Every.org supports these types of missions across sectors. It's a win-win. Donate some of that HODL :)
Charity to the moon!! π
Thrilled to be sharing crypto donations with the Product Hunt community. To our knowledge, this is the first time that anyone can use crypto to support any registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit with just a few clicks, no sign up required. We're a nonprofit ourselves, and our hope with this launch is to normalize using crypto to help the charitable sector.
Today it's extremely rare for small, local organizations to support crypto donations, and even for the largest 100 charities only 12% do so today and they often pay large fees. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit ourselves with a robust disbursement system and track record, we can instantly help the over one million nonprofits listed on our website benefit from crypto. Perhaps more importantly, if you represent a nonprofit it's now incredibly easy and totally free to add a "Donate Crypto" button to your own website.
Please give it a whirl and give what you can. Looking forward to your thoughts and feedback π
@paulmwatson great question! We use the publicly available IRS Publication 78 database to determine which organizations are valid 501(c)(3) public charities. Whenever a nonprofit first receives a donation, we try to get them signed up and adding their bank account info. Today there are only 373 nonprofit administrators who are actively managing their nonprofit accounts, though those 373 make up a high percent of the popular nonprofits actually receiving donations. For nonprofits that never sign up, a check arrives in the mail. More information on the disbursement process at https://support.every.org/hc/en-...
Checks in the mail is similar to how widely used donor advised funds DAFs work, with a couple important differences: 1) we don't require any sign up and anyone can instantly donate crypto, compared to creating Fidelity or Schwab DAF which could take weeks, and 2) you are encouraged to instantly choose charitable recipients, while DAFs usually encourage people to keep assets in their DAFs for as long as possible instead of going to real charities, so they can make money from management fees.
Hey Mark, awesome application! Just wondering if you gonna need VPS / Server Hosting / VPN / Bulk SMS as support for your application. We'd love to work with you!
