Ariana Grande’s fundraiser for trans visibility adds crypto option

Fundraising platform Pledge has launched PledgeCrypto to allow nonprofits to accept crypto donations in more than 130 cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and Tether (USDT), and then turn them into fiat money.

Famous music artist and prominent advocate for transgender rights Ariana Grande, who is also the founder of her own charity, Protect and Defend Trans Youth Fund, has offered to match up to $1.5 million in donations. Grande is raising money for LGBTQ organizations that advocate for and provide direct services to transgender youth.

The announcement says PledgeCrypto is a free, fully-integrated fiat and cryptocurrency donation platform where donations are delivered to verified non-profit organizations. It does not require technical knowledge, crypto wallet expertise or KYC documentation.

Pledge CEO James Citron say about 300 million people worldwide presently own cryptocurrency and intend to fund causes they care about. Apart from Ariana Grande’s campaign, additional charity partners for Pledge Crypto include The Boys and Girls Club of Metro Los Angeles, Big Brothers and Big Sisters LA, Streetcode Academy, Worthy of Love, Safe Place for Youth, CoachArt, Goodie Nation and Taraji P Henson’s Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation.

Pledge has also introduced a mechanism that allows each crypto transaction to contribute to verified carbon offset initiatives via the United Nations Climate Neutral Now Initiative to offset the environmental impact of cryptocurrency mining and transactions.

The year 2021 will be remembered as the year of new all-time highs for digital assets; however, it was also the most successful year yet for crypto philanthropy. As reported by Cointelegraph in early Feb., In 2021, crypto contributions totaled $69.6 million as opposed to $4.2 million in 2020. In the same period, crypto donation volume rose by 1,558% or roughly 16 times.
