It’s not every day that we get to release an annual report! Whether you followed what was happening in Crypto Philanthropy this year, or want a first look at this fast-emerging corner of the fundraising landscape, we encourage you to check out our 2021 Annual Report.
Several exciting developments took place over the past year, such as the rapid rise of charitable giving from the NFT community, and major increases in donation volume via The Giving Block’s Donation Form.
Hundreds of nonprofits began accepting cryptocurrency donations in 2021, and we loved seeing all of the creative ways they fundraised crypto.
We’re also proud of the way that the crypto community—now 295 million strong—stepped up to support their favorite causes with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and dozens of other crypto assets.
