Crypto giving is a donation of Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, Solana or BNB from your wallet to a charity’s published address. World Aid Network converts every gift to sterling on receipt. We do not hold crypto as an investment. Sterling goes to the Emergency Disaster Fund. This page is the hub. Coin pages hold the wallet addresses. People search “donate crypto to charity” when they want one clear path: which coins, which address, what happens next, and whether tax relief applies. Stay here for that map. Open a coin page only when you are ready to copy an address. Card gifts remain on the donate page if you would rather not use a wallet. Both methods fund real programme costs. We do not claim a 100% donation policy. ## Which cryptocurrencies does World Aid Network accept? We accept Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT on Ethereum mainnet, Solana and BNB. Each coin has its own verified wallet on a separate page. Always copy the address from the page for the coin you are sending. Sending a coin to the wrong network can lose the funds permanently. We do not accept other tokens on those addresses. Bitcoin is not Ethereum. USDT on Tron is not USDT on Ethereum. A BNB Chain token is not Solana. The networks do not share addresses. If you are unsure which asset you hold, stop and check your wallet before you send. We do not publish a new coin here until trustees have a verified wallet for it. Do not send USDC, dogecoin or any other unpublished asset to these addresses. USDT belongs only on Donate USDT — Ethereum mainnet ERC-20. - Bitcoin (BTC): https://worldaidnetwork.org/donate-bitcoin - Ethereum (ETH): https://worldaidnetwork.org/donate-ethereum - USDT (ERC-20 on Ethereum): https://worldaidnetwork.org/donate-usdt - Solana (SOL): https://worldaidnetwork.org/donate-solana - BNB: https://worldaidnetwork.org/donate-bnb ## How do I donate cryptocurrency to charity? Choose Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, Solana or BNB. Open that coin page on this website. Copy the published wallet address. Send only that coin from your wallet or exchange. We convert the gift to sterling on receipt. Email info@worldaidnetwork.org if you need a receipt and can identify the transaction. Do not copy an address from a search result, a screenshot or a message that claims to be us. Only this site and the coin pages are the source. Exchanges sometimes charge a withdrawal fee and may send from a pooled address. That is normal. Large or unusual gifts may need know-your-donor checks before we can thank you by name. ## What happens to my crypto after I donate? As Charity Commission guidance advises, we promptly convert cryptocurrency received into sterling. That protects the gift from later price moves. We do not hold crypto as an investment. Sterling is allocated to the Emergency Disaster Fund for food, water, hygiene kits and shelter. We do not send cash to individuals. Conversion is not instant on every network. A confirmation, a transfer to the conversion rail, and a sterling receipt all take time. The value that funds kits is the sterling amount after conversion, not a later market high. Trustees pay partner hospitals and vetted local relief partners against approved lists. Disaster money does not rebuild houses or run medical clinics. ## Why do you convert crypto to sterling? Charity Commission guidance expects charities that accept crypto to convert it promptly rather than speculate. Holding Bitcoin as an investment would put programme money on the market. Converting to sterling locks the gift at receipt. We can then buy food, water and shelter at partner prices. We do not trade crypto for gain. If the price rises after you send, the extra does not sit in a wallet waiting for a better day. If it falls, we have already converted. That is the point of the policy: a meal does not wait on a chart. The same no-cash rule as every other gift applies after conversion. Partners are paid, not individuals. ## Is a crypto donation tax-efficient in the UK? HMRC can treat a gift of cryptoassets to a qualifying UK charity as no gain, no loss for Capital Gains Tax. World Aid Network’s Charity Commission registration is in progress (application 5290505), so do not assume that relief applies yet. Gift Aid is for gifts of money, not in-kind crypto. Seek independent tax advice. Blog posts that explain HMRC’s Cryptoassets Manual in general terms are not a personal ruling. Your cost, your wallet, and whether we are a qualifying charity on the day you give all matter. When registration is granted we will update this page. Until then, give because you want the Emergency Disaster Fund funded — not because a tax saving is guaranteed. ## Can I claim Gift Aid on a cryptocurrency donation? Not yet, and not as an in-kind crypto gift. Gift Aid is a relief on gifts of money from UK taxpayers. HMRC treats cryptoassets as property. Gift Aid also waits until Charity Commission registration is granted (application 5290505). If you want Gift Aid later, a sterling card gift on the donate page is the usual path. We will contact donors when Gift Aid becomes claimable for qualifying sterling gifts. Do not add 25% to a crypto amount in your own accounts. Independent advice is essential if tax is why you are giving. We do not act as your tax adviser. ## How is crypto giving different from donating by card? Crypto giving uses a published wallet on a coin page. Card giving uses the donate page. Crypto is converted to sterling, then allocated to the Emergency Disaster Fund. A card gift can be marked for eye surgery, cancer treatment, emergency relief or where most needed. Both are real gifts. Neither is a 100% donation policy. Stay here if you already hold Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, Solana or BNB and want to send it. Use the donate page if you want Apple Pay, Google Pay or a monthly card gift. US-dollar card checkout is the US donate page. Payroll, shares and gifts in wills sit on ways to donate. ## Do I need a crypto giving platform? No. You can send Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, Solana or BNB straight to World Aid Network’s published wallets. You do not need The Giving Block, Engiven or another intermediary for a gift here. Third-party platforms may charge a fee. Always check you are sending to our coin page, not a lookalike. We do not rank those platforms. If you already use one and it lists another charity, give there if that is the gift you want. This page is only for gifts to World Aid Network. Never send crypto to an address a stranger posts in a comment or a direct message claiming to be us. ## What will my crypto donation provide? After conversion to sterling, your gift funds the Emergency Disaster Fund. Typical partner costs include £10 for a week’s drinking water, £25 for a hygiene kit, £50 for two weeks of emergency food, and £100 for temporary shelter materials. Amounts are a guide after conversion, not a Bitcoin price promise. We do not quote how many satoshis buy a tarpaulin. Markets move. The table is what partners typically kit in sterling. Disaster gifts do not rebuild homes or fund medical clinics. We do not invent caseloads. Trustees send converted sterling to the next verified list a partner can deliver. ## Can I donate crypto anonymously? On-chain transfers are pseudonymous, not a way to skip UK charity law. We carry out know-your-donor checks in proportion to the gift. We may decline or return a donation if we cannot establish a legitimate source. We cannot issue Gift Aid receipts for anonymous gifts. Email info@worldaidnetwork.org if you want a named thank-you. Small routine gifts will not usually need a call. Larger or unusual patterns may. That protects the charity and other donors. Do not send crypto as a way to move unexplained funds. We would rather return a gift than take a risk. ## What if I send the wrong coin? Sending a coin to the wrong network’s address can lose the funds permanently. Bitcoin is not Ethereum. USDT on Tron is not USDT on Ethereum. BNB is not Solana. We cannot recover assets sent to the wrong chain. Copy the address only from the matching coin page on this website. If you have already sent the wrong asset, write to info@worldaidnetwork.org with the transaction id. Recovery is often impossible. Do not send a second transaction to “try again” on the same wrong address. If you are new to wallets, a card gift on the donate page is the safer path. There is no shame in that. ## What will a converted gift typically fund? - £10: Clean drinking water for a displaced family for one week - £25: An emergency hygiene kit for a displaced family - £50: Emergency food rations for a family for two weeks - £100: Temporary shelter materials for one displaced household - £250: Safe drinking water for 50 people for one week - £500: A full emergency relief package for 10 displaced families ## Frequently asked questions ### Which cryptocurrencies does World Aid Network accept?
