Why Nonprofits Should Care About Crypto with Pat Duffy

On top of all the other fundraising strategies nonprofits have to master, you may be thinking that the additional hassle of figuring out cryptocurrency donations may not be worth it.

However, 220,000,000+ people use cryptocurrency today. And half of millennials prefer crypto investing to stocks. And in a recent study, Fidelity Charitable found crypto owners to be more charitable than the typical investor, but 46% of these donors noted it was difficult to find nonprofits that accept cryptocurrency donations.

With so many ways for nonprofits to accept cryptocurrency donations, you don’t need to turn away donors who wish to donate their Bitcoin, Ethereum, or other coins. It’s a new technology that is constantly evolving, and it’s understandable if you have some apprehension or confusion about how it all works. However, with so many tools available it is easier than ever to get started.

Pat Duffy created The Giving Block with Co-Founder Alex Wilson in 2018, developing the leading solutions that charities, universities and other nonprofits use to fundraise cryptocurrencies. They quickly established themselves as the leading crypto fundraising experts through the explosive growth of their programs at Save the Children and United Way Worldwide. Over the last four years, The Giving Block has turned cryptocurrency into the fastest growing donation method, founding the industry’s giving pledge, giving days and crowdfunding platform.

Here are some of the topics we discussed:

• How can a nonprofit get started accepting crypto donations
• Bitcoin currently being the most popular among cryptocurrencies, how can nonprofits ask for Bitcoin donations
• What is Blockchain-based NFTs and how can nonprofits use NFTs
• What are the trends on the next coming years
