The Giving Block Adds MetaMask Integration for Crypto Donations, Making it Easier than Ever to Donate ETH and ERC-20 Tokens

by | Feb 1, 2023

The Giving Block is partnering with MetaMask, the leading web3 crypto wallet supporting Ethereum-based tokens and NFTs, to make it easier and faster than ever to donate ETH and ERC-20 tokens. MetaMask’s community of over 30M active monthly users can now donate through The Giving Block in a matter of seconds.

In 2021, Ethereum was the most donated cryptocurrency on The Giving Block, with over $30M in donations. This partnership allows those generous donors a secure and easy way to donate to their favorite charities in just a few clicks.

Why We Partnered with MetaMask

It is important to us that we align with trusted partners who have a legacy of transparent business practices and user privacy. Metamask is one of the most-trusted and widely used wallets available and we are excited to join other notable names including OpenSea and PayPal as their partners, as we know many of our donors rely on MetaMask as their wallet of choice.

Why This Partnership is So Exciting for Donors 

MetaMask is one of the most popular and trusted crypto wallets in the world, with millions of active users who buy, sell and donate ETH and ERC-20 tokens. Through this integration, donors can connect their wallet and send the donation details to MetaMask at the click of a button. This not only saves donors time, but also provides an additional security checkpoint that allows donors to sign off on the transaction.

Why This Partnership is Valuable for Nonprofits

As nonprofits continue to fundraise crypto, it’s important to meet donors where they are at. MetaMask has built a robust community of 30M active monthly users that are passionate about crypto and NFTs. It is important for this community to see that their favorite causes are taking the steps to make the donation process even easier and are integrating with their favorite wallets. With this integration, it’s faster than ever for donors to give, increasing the likelihood that they will donate more frequently.
