Blockchair, known for its search and analytics engine for 16 blockchains, has launched Blockchair Donut: a place for nonprofit organizations and open-source projects to raise funds in crypto. Blockchair provides the organizations with much-needed reach-out among its large visitor base and does not impose any fees on the fundraising organizations.
As mentioned on their website, ‘Blockchair Donut was born out of the idea of giving something back to crypto supporters and is purely philanthropic’. Blockchair does not take any profit from the campaigns nor does it require any promotions of Blockchair services. It hopes to make a positive impact on the world and help the growth of crypto while supporting organizations that strive to and make the world a better place. Besides, it offers free integration of a convenient payment widget to the fundraisers, allowing the easiest checkout for their website visitors.
In the first round of featured campaigns are well-known projects to the crypto community such as Litecoin Foundation, The Tor Project, and WikiLeaks, but also less-known projects such as Watsi and Kult. All featured organizations are screened by Blockchair and accept donations in crypto. Donors can make their donation in 3 simple steps while having the option to donate in various cryptocurrencies. Once donated, a PDF receipt becomes available that can be used for tax return purposes.
Blockchair, which lives by the motto of privacy first, does not require registration or KYC processes in order to donate, but donors can sign up for the newsletter of the organization to receive updates of how their funds have been used. Information about donors won’t be shared with third parties, as Blockchair does not gather user data, nor tracks users - according to its strict privacy policy.
Blockchair encourages to share the campaigns on social media to help nonprofit and open-source projects gain visibility and raise funds to keep on with their mission. It invites crypto users to have a look at ongoing campaigns and invites fundraising nonprofits and open-source projects to apply.
