Hi all,

I'd like to get a better idea of how wide the adoption rate is for Charitable giving using Bitcoin. If you know of a Charity accepting bitcoin can you post it below.

I'm hoping to use this information to put together a portal for those who would like to use their bitcoins for Charitable giving.

For larger charitable organisations (who are reluctant to use bitcoin) I would like to use a payment integration service to forward fiat donations from the portal directly to the charity of choice.

i was working on a btc charitable mining pool/donation funding site earlier this year. Ended up calling it quits after my fourth failed 'developer'. I still have the framework and all the legwork that went into it. If i can be of help, or assist, please let me know.

Hi Rawted, yeah I'd love to hear more details about it.

While I support the efforts of bitcoin backed charities, I'd rather forward any bitcoin donations to already established organisations.

5% Bitcoin Discount - All Orders

I posted in another thread about the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF). They are one of the organizations I am passionate about and donating to regularly too.

You can read more about theme here.

They even thanked the bitcoin community a couple of months ago.

There's a thread on here with the idea to name their next ship the "Satoshi Nakamoto".. if forum members could generate a sizable donation...

Hey,

I run Sean's Outpost Homeless Outreach. We're pretty much a bitcoin fueled charitable organization.

I spoke at Bitcoin 2013 this year on Bitcoin for Charities and Non-Profits. Here's the youtube of the talk...

I pretty much just run this outreach and try to convince other charities to take bitcoin. I'd be happy to assist in anyway I can.

Pirate Bay does. They aren't exactly a charity but maybe in some respects.
