In short
Donate USDT to charity here by sending Tether on Ethereum mainnet only — the ERC-20 token, not Tron or BNB Chain. World Aid Network publishes the verified wallet on this page. Copy that 0x address. We convert USDT to sterling on receipt for emergency food, water and shelter. Gift Aid is not claimable yet.
Last updated . World Aid Network does not hold crypto as an investment.

How do I donate USDT to charity?
Open this Donate USDT page on worldaidnetwork.org. Copy the published 0x address or scan the QR on this page. In your wallet, select Ethereum mainnet and the USDT token — not Tron (TRC-20), BNB Smart Chain, Solana or an L2. Send USDT only. We convert the gift to sterling on receipt. Email [email protected] if you need a receipt and can identify the transaction.
Do not copy a USDT address from a search ad or a chat that claims to be us. Only this page is the source for this wallet.
You will pay gas in ETH to move ERC-20 USDT. Exchanges may charge a withdrawal fee. Large or unusual gifts may need know-your-donor checks.
USDT (USDT) Wallet Address
0x41C32A9AD7B8a855E9595d1B4e053f0428F01307What is the World Aid Network USDT wallet address?
The verified USDT address is the 0x address in the box on this page. Copy it with the button, or scan the QR published here. It is for Tether (USDT) on Ethereum mainnet only. Donate Ethereum uses a different 0x address for native ETH. If the address on your screen does not match this page, stop.
Check the first and last four characters after you paste. We will not email you a new USDT address. If someone does, it is not us.
A Bitcoin bc1 address is never this wallet. A Solana address is never this wallet. A Tron T-address is never this wallet.
How do I send USDT from a wallet or exchange?
Start a USDT withdrawal. Paste this 0x address. Choose Ethereum as the network — often labelled ERC-20. Select the official Tether token, not a lookalike ticker. Confirm when the characters match this page. Wait for Ethereum confirmations. We convert after we can spend the USDT.
In MetaMask, switch to Ethereum mainnet, then send USDT. Base, Arbitrum, Optimism and Polygon are not this gift. Tron (TRC-20) is not this gift.
If the exchange only offers Tron, BNB Smart Chain or Solana for USDT, do not send to this address. Wrong network usually means permanent loss.
Can I send USDT on Tron, BNB Smart Chain or Solana?
No. This address accepts USDT (ERC-20) on Ethereum mainnet only. USDT on Tron (TRC-20), BNB Smart Chain, Solana, Arbitrum, Polygon or any other chain sent here is usually lost. Native ETH belongs on Donate Ethereum — a different wallet. Bitcoin, Solana and BNB sent here are usually lost too.
Tether exists on many networks. Only Ethereum mainnet ERC-20 matches this page. We cannot recover a send on the wrong chain.
If you have already sent the wrong asset or used the wrong network, write to [email protected] with the transaction id. Do not send a second transaction to try again.
Is this the same wallet as Donate Ethereum?
No. Donate Ethereum is native ETH on a different 0x address. This page is USDT (ERC-20) only. Sending native ETH here, or USDT to Donate Ethereum, can lose the gift or send it to the wrong wallet. Copy only from the page for the asset you hold.
Both pages use Ethereum mainnet. The asset and the address still differ. Check the ticker in your wallet before you confirm.
What happens to my USDT after I donate?
As Charity Commission guidance advises, we promptly convert USDT received into sterling. That protects the gift from later price moves. We do not hold USDT 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.
Mainnet 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.
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 USDT donation provide after conversion?
After conversion to sterling, your USDT 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 USDT price promise.
We do not quote how many tokens buy 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.
| Gift | What partners typically kit |
|---|---|
| £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 |
What does your amount fund?
£50 — Emergency food rations for a family for two weeks
The table is a sterling guide after conversion, not a USDT price. For a fuller calculator see the emergency relief calculator.
Is a USDT 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 registration is in progress (application 5290505), so do not assume that applies yet. Gift Aid is for gifts of money, not in-kind USDT. 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 USDT donation?
Not yet, and not as an in-kind USDT 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 USDT 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 USDT anonymously?
On-chain USDT 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 USDT gifts. Email [email protected] if you want a named thank-you.
Small routine gifts will not usually need a call. Larger or unusual patterns may.
Do not send USDT as a way to move unexplained funds. We would rather return a gift than take a risk.
How is donating USDT different from donating by card?
USDT giving uses this published wallet on Ethereum mainnet. Card giving uses the donate page. USDT 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 USDT on Ethereum mainnet. Use the donate page for Apple Pay, Google Pay or a monthly card gift.
The crypto giving hub maps every coin we accept. Ways to donate covers payroll, shares and gifts in wills.
Which other coins can I send instead of USDT?
If you hold native Ethereum, Bitcoin, Solana or BNB, leave this page. Each coin has its own verified wallet. Donate Ethereum is native ETH — a different 0x address from this USDT wallet. Sending the wrong asset here can lose it permanently. Card checkout stays on the donate page.
Open Donate Ethereum only when you intend to send native ETH. Open this page only for USDT (ERC-20) on Ethereum mainnet.
