Description

Cryptocurrencies are booming in popularity, with the total value of all crypto recently passing the $2 trillion mark. And as crypto is used and invested in more every day, it’s becoming even more important for nonprofits and fundraising.

The good news is that crypto owners are even more generous than the average investor. Nearly half of them donated over $1,000 to charity in 2020 (compared to a third of all investors) and one in three have donated crypto assets to charity.

For nonprofits that want to reach younger, charitable generations, crypto is one of the best avenues to do so. Yet, many fundraisers are still struggling to understand what crypto is, what it means for philanthropy, and how to secure these gifts.

Join Patrick Schmitt, the Co-CEO of FreeWill, to learn the basics of crypto, the trends and changes impacting crypto giving, and how nonprofits can fundraise and accept crypto donations in 2022.
