Why donate Bitcoin to Save the Children?

Around the world children are being robbed of their futures by a global economy built on inequality and greed. Save the Children believes that Bitcoin can be a force for good and a force for financial inclusion.

Through Save the Children’s work – every moment of every day – a hungry child is fed, a sick child gets care, a young mind is learning, a vulnerable child is protected and a family gains tools to overcome poverty.

In 2023 alone, Save the Children and our partners reached 105.9 million children worldwide, across 115 countries helping them grow up healthy, learning and safe.

What are the advantages of donating Bitcoin to Save the Children?

1) Turn your capital gains to good: In the U.S., the IRS classifies Bitcoin donations as property, meaning they may offset capital gains tax and are tax-deductible.*

2) Remain anonymous if you wish: We accept anonymous donations. Anonymous donors can receive a tax receipt if you provide an email address. We recognize some donors, if they wish, on our #HODLhope leaderboard and on social media.

3) Trust and Transparency: Bitcoin donations to Save the Children can be verified on-chain so you can feel confident that your contribution went to the right place.
