Cryptocurrencies and charitable donations: What do charities need to know?

The use of digital currencies such as cryptocurrency for charitable purposes has steadily increased as the practice becomes more understood and widely accepted. 

In the first episode of our Charity Matters, we examine the expanding practice of using cryptocurrencies for charity purposes and their influence on charitable donations.

Samantha Pritchard and Alison Jones are joined by Charlotte Campbell, Director of Fundraising and Operations at the Children’s Heart Unit Fund (Chuf), to talk about the charity’s involvement with cryptocurrency. 

We discuss the charity’s journey to accepting crypto donations and the accompanying risks. Charlotte also highlights the advantages of cultivating a diversified income stream and its role in the charity’s growth and current success.
