A Quarter of a Million in Crypto Donations is Powering PAWS’ Mission to Help Animals

PAWS (Progressive Animal Welfare Society), a nonprofit organization dedicated to advocating for and providing care to animals, embraced cryptocurrency as a groundbreaking revenue stream to amplify their mission. Since August 2021, PAWS has raised $242,917.16 in crypto donations, enabling them to make a profound difference in the lives of thousands of dogs, cats, and wild animals. Through their partnership with The Giving Block, they’ve built a robust platform for accepting crypto, turning digital generosity into tangible support for animals in need.

Crypto Philanthropy Milestones

The highlight of PAWS’ crypto journey was a transformative $100,000 ETH donation from Pawthereum. Nominated by a loyal supporter, PAWS turned to The Giving Block for guidance in navigating the world of crypto philanthropy. This game-changing donation significantly accelerated the completion of the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center.

“The crypto community is action-oriented, innovative, and generous beyond measure. They are changing the world, and we’re grateful to be part of their impact,” said Andi Anderson, Director of Philanthropy & Events at PAWS.

A Rising Need: Why PAWS Needs Donations Now More Than Ever

Economic hardships and housing challenges have led to a surge in pet surrenders, while increased human encroachment into wild spaces has caused more harm to wildlife. These challenges make donations critical to ensuring PAWS can continue to provide shelter, expert care, and wildlife rehabilitation services.

With additional funding, PAWS could:

Expand services to meet the rising demand for animal sheltering and wildlife rehabilitation.
Support innovative programs to reduce human-wildlife conflict.
Enhance community-driven initiatives to help cats and dogs find and stay with loving families.
