The Children’s Heart Unit Fund (CHUF), established in England, is said to have received more than £100,000 in cryptocurrency donations in the last year. Donations totaled around $137,560.
CHUF is one of the few charities in England that accepts bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptocurrencies as donations. Their donation processing platform is now The Giving Block. One of only two charities in ENGLAND has done so.
The charity recently received a one-off donation worth more than £70,000, according to a statement. They also received big donations from MoonBoys Finance, community-driven decentralized finance (DeFi) token, and HOPE TOKEN, a charity token. Dan Bainbridge, a long-time supporter of the foundation, also promised a crypto donation worth more than $10,000.
The statement quoted the charity’s head of fundraising, Charlotte Campbell, to say:
“It’s been quite a journey since we first started the process to seeing donations of £10,000, £20,000 even £70,000 come through as a fundraiser that will always be incredibly exciting. We are beyond grateful to the generous donors who have made it possible for CHUF to continue to bring smiles to the faces of Heart Heroes across ENGLAND.
“The cryptocurrency world moves so fast, which can be unnerving to some charities, but it is also incredibly exciting. The crypto community has embraced us as one of their own, and we are incredibly grateful to be able to work with people who are so passionate about having a positive impact on the world.”
