The future of crypto is constantly debated. No one knows which stablecoin will set the global standard or which country will ultimately define the Web3 era. The terminology shifts—from blockchain to crypto to DeFi—but through all of it, one truth has held steady: this technology was built to make a longstanding impact.
Sixteen years after Bitcoin’s launch, crypto has reshaped what’s possible in financial access, privacy, and transparency. It’s opened the door to opportunity for people and organizations once left out of traditional systems—and in doing so, it’s become one of the most powerful tools for philanthropy in modern history. Billions in crypto donations have already supported nonprofits tackling the world’s most urgent challenges.
Crypto’s impact extends far beyond wealth creation. Yes, it remains one of the top-performing asset classes of the past decade. But the people leading this movement are different. They’re younger. More digital-native. Deeply committed to solving global problems. Despite being, on average, in their 30s, crypto donors give at rates that surpass older, more established investors. Their belief in decentralization and freedom extends naturally to generosity.
Across continents, crypto continues to break barriers—bringing financial independence to women and activists under oppressive regimes, strengthening transparency in institutions, and empowering entire communities to build systems that work for them. The people shaping this ecosystem aren’t just investing in innovation—they’re investing in impact.
That’s why we created Crypto for Impact—a campaign uniting nonprofits and donors who believe in the power of crypto to make the world better.
Why Nonprofits Are Leading the Way in Crypto Adoption
Crypto isn’t just creating a new generation of impact-driven wealth—it’s reshaping what it means to be a modern nonprofit.
While less than 1% of regional banks currently offer crypto services, many of the world’s most trusted charities already do. From St. Jude to Save the Children, leading nonprofits have spent years building authentic relationships in the crypto community—raising millions in the process and proving that innovation and generosity go hand in hand.
These organizations aren’t waiting for permission from traditional finance to evolve—they’re driving the movement forward. Nonprofits have become crypto’s most credible advocates, showing regulators, institutions, and the general public what responsible adoption looks like in practice.
As this community continues to grow, we have a collective responsibility to help more nonprofits join the movement. That means more Web3 projects collaborating with mission-driven organizations, and more donors contributing tax-advantaged crypto to the nonprofits championing progress.
Because when nonprofits lead in crypto, everyone wins—and the impact ripples far beyond the blockchain.
A $300 Million Milestone Ahead
Over the past year, a surging crypto market has added more than a trillion dollars in value—reigniting innovation, optimism, and generosity across the ecosystem. As crypto hit new all-time highs, so did generosity.
If this momentum continues, The Giving Block is on pace to surpass $300 million in total crypto donations by the end of 2025—funding thousands of charities, universities, and faith-based organizations around the world.
To reach that milestone, we’re dedicating this year to celebrating the people and projects making the biggest impact. Through Crypto for Impact, we’ll shine a spotlight on the changemakers, builders, and donors proving that crypto isn’t just reshaping finance—it’s redefining generosity.
The “Crypto for Impact” Campaign
We’re thrilled to kick off Crypto for Impact—our biggest campaign yet celebrating the powerful intersection of crypto and philanthropy.
At The Giving Block, our mission is to show the world that crypto is far more than a financial innovation—it’s a catalyst for global good. Across the world, crypto is empowering individuals, defending human rights, driving transparency, and giving nonprofits the tools they need to create lasting impact.
This year, we’re doubling down on that mission—amplifying stories of generosity, innovation, and hope across the crypto community. By highlighting the people and projects using crypto to change lives, we’re inspiring more donors to give, more nonprofits to join the movement, and more people to see crypto for what it truly is: a force for impact.
As part of this campaign, we’re proud to introduce the 2025 Most Impactful Awards—a new annual celebration honoring the individuals, communities, and organizations driving Crypto Philanthropy forward. These awards shine a spotlight on those who use this technology to make a difference, build awareness, and inspire others to give. From journalists amplifying crypto for good, to integration partners simplifying the giving experience, the Most Impactful Awards are designed to celebrate progress, drive engagement, and build momentum across the global giving community.
