Greetings, crypto philanthropists! If you are a MetaMask user, you can now donate ERC-20 tokens and other crypto assets to your favorite charities seamlessly, thanks to The Giving Block’s integration with MetaMask

Here’s how you can make a donation to one of thousands of nonprofits, quickly and securely:

What You’ll Need First:

  • An active MetaMask wallet (you can get one here for free)
  • A balance of the token you wish to donate (including gas fees)

When you’re ready to go, follow the instructions below to make a charitable donation from your MetaMask wallet:
