Globally, charitable donations are at an all-time high with more than $500 billion annual donation. Yet, the public trust in these charities and nonprofits are at an all time low.

Illuminating Humanitarian Causes

Leveraging blockchain technology, Giftcoin is developing a decentralized, accountable, and  completely transparent ecosystem set to revolutionize charitable donations. The platform hard-baked transparency and accountability into every donations enabling the public to track and monitor fund allocation and utilization.

To further the utilisation of its blockchain, Giftcoin has announced a collaboration with leading charity payment provider, Charity Checkout. The collaboration will bring over 2000 charities to Giftcoin’s ecosystem. The platform has also initiated a series of partnerships with leading UK and international causes, including English Heritage and trauma-informed yoga charity OURMALA, which uses yoga to rehabilitate those who have been sexually abused, tortured or trafficked.

Luke Purser, Development Director at English Heritage, said:

“English Heritage cares for the places where England’s stories were forged and where they can be retold. To do this we often use the latest technologies and so we’re pleased to see the new initiative from Giftcoin, which will help charities communicate to donors how and where their funds are being used. We hope this will be a great new way to raise more funds to support our important work.”
