Fundraise Up Unlocks Crypto Giving with Coinbase
August 16, 2023
Fundraise Up provides comprehensive fundraising solutions for leading nonprofit organizations around the world. Their platform aims to simplify the fundraising process, enhance donor experiences, and ultimately maximize the financial support received by nonprofits.
Last year, their team continued to see strong demand for cryptocurrency donations. In an effort to unlock this modern form of payment, they tapped Coinbase Commerce to help.
“Unlocking crypto donations through our Coinbase integration was clearly aligned with our mission, as nonprofits requested crypto giving functionality in order to tap into new donor demographics.”
— Salvatore Salpietro, Chief Partnerships Officer @ Fundraise Up
Powering crypto donations for Children of Heroes
Bridging the gap between traditional philanthropy and the evolving digital economy, Fundraise Up has successfully enabled cryptocurrency donations for Children of Heroes.
Children of Heroes is a nonprofit organization based in Ukraine that provides comprehensive support to children who have suffered the tragic loss of a parent, or parents, during the ongoing war.
As an existing nonprofit using Fundraise Up, enabling the global support community behind crypto helped them generate more support for their noble mission.
“Integrating cryptocurrency donations has allowed Children of Heroes to expand our outreach and provide even more comprehensive support to Ukrainian children in need, empowering us to make a significant difference in their lives.”
— Brice Espino, CEO @ Children of Heroes
