Solana (SOL) on Solana mainnet: 7C5KPQazAynHhbCMqR56dKFJqZrFJvHUxbQSGMEJcDV5 ## How do I donate Solana to charity? Open this Solana page on worldaidnetwork.org. Copy the published base58 address. In Phantom, Solflare or your exchange, select Solana mainnet. Send native SOL only. We convert the gift to sterling on receipt. Email info@worldaidnetwork.org if you need a receipt and can identify the transaction. Other coins have their own pages. Do not copy a Solana address from a search ad or a chat that claims to be us. Only this page is the source for this wallet. Solana fees are paid in SOL. Exchanges may still charge a withdrawal fee. Large or unusual gifts may need know-your-donor checks. ## What is the World Aid Network Solana wallet address? The verified Solana address is the base58 string in the box on this page. It does not start with bc1 or 0x. Copy it with the button rather than typing it. If the address on your screen does not match this page, stop. Do not send. We will not email you a new Solana address. Check the first and last four characters after you paste. Solana addresses are case-sensitive. A Bitcoin or Ethereum address pasted into a Solana withdrawal will not be this gift. The wallet should reject it. If it does not, cancel. ## How do I send Solana from a wallet or exchange? Start a SOL withdrawal. Paste this page’s address. Choose Solana mainnet, not Devnet or a bridge. Send native SOL, not an SPL token. Confirm when the characters match. Solana usually confirms quickly. We convert after we can spend the SOL. We do not publish a memo — if your exchange requires one, send from a self-custody wallet. Some exchanges ask for a memo or tag. We have not published a memo. If the exchange will not withdraw without one, use a self-custody wallet such as Phantom and send from there, or give by card instead. If you are new to Solana wallets, the donate page is the safer path. ## Can I send SPL tokens to this address? No. This address accepts native SOL on Solana mainnet only. USDC on Solana, other SPL tokens, NFTs and assets from Bitcoin, Ethereum or BNB Smart Chain sent here are usually lost. We cannot recover them. If you hold a different coin, use that coin’s page. Card checkout remains on the donate page. SPL tokens sit in associated token accounts. A charity wallet set up for native SOL is not a promise we can sweep every mint. If you have already sent an SPL token, write to info@worldaidnetwork.org with the transaction id. Do not send a second transaction to try again. ## What happens to my Solana after I donate? As Charity Commission guidance advises, we promptly convert Solana received into sterling. That protects the gift from later price moves. We do not hold SOL 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. A fast confirmation is not the same as converted sterling. The value that funds kits is the sterling amount after conversion, not a later market high. Trustees pay vetted local relief partners against approved lists. Disaster money does not rebuild houses or run medical clinics. We do not claim a 100% donation policy. ## What will a Solana donation provide after conversion? After conversion to sterling, your Solana 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 sterling guide after conversion, not a SOL price promise. We do not quote how much SOL buys a tarpaulin. Markets move. The table is what partners typically kit in sterling. We do not invent caseloads. Trustees send converted sterling to the next verified list a partner can deliver. ## Is a Solana donation tax-efficient in the UK? HMRC can treat a gift of Solana to a qualifying UK charity as no gain, no loss for Capital Gains Tax. World Aid Network’s registration is in progress (application 5290505), so do not assume that applies yet. Gift Aid is for gifts of money, not in-kind SOL. Seek independent tax advice. The crypto giving hub has the overview. Your cost, your wallet and whether we are a qualifying charity on the day you give all matter. Give because you want the Emergency Disaster Fund funded — not because a tax saving is guaranteed. ## Can I claim Gift Aid on a Solana donation? Not yet, and not as an in-kind Solana 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. Do not add 25% to a SOL amount in your own accounts. We will update the crypto giving hub when Gift Aid becomes claimable for qualifying sterling gifts. We do not act as your tax adviser. ## Can I donate Solana anonymously? On-chain Solana is 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 Solana 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. Do not send SOL as a way to move unexplained funds. We would rather return a gift than take a risk. ## How is donating Solana different from donating by card? Solana giving uses this published wallet on Solana mainnet. Card giving uses the donate page. SOL 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 SOL. Use the donate page for Apple Pay, Google Pay or a monthly card gift. The crypto giving hub maps every coin we accept. ## Which other coins can I send instead of Solana? If you hold Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT or BNB, leave this page. Each coin has its own verified wallet. Sending those assets to this Solana address can lose them permanently. The crypto giving hub lists every coin we accept. Card checkout stays on the donate page if you would rather not use a wallet. Solana addresses are not 0x addresses and not bc1 addresses. Copy only from the matching coin page. ## 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 ### How do I donate Solana to charity?
