Fundraising platform Pledge has now launched ‘PledgeCrypto’ which has now enabled non-profits to take crypto donations in over 130 prominent cryptocurrencies.
Bitcoin, Ethereum and Tether are among the cryptocurrencies through which crypto donations can be accepted and instantly converted into fiat currencies.
Ariana Grande, the crusader of Trans rights has used Pledge to raise funds for Trans Visibility Day.
Grande had launched the “Protect and Defend Trans Youth Fund” and had stated that she would raise $1.5 million through the Fundraiser to match her own donation.
James Citron, CEO of Pledge, had mentioned, “Over 300 hundred million people around the world hold cryptocurrency today and want more than ever to support the causes they care about,” and also that they have made “it seamless for anyone to support the world’s largest network of 2+ million verified charities and for charities everywhere to seamlessly accept cryptocurrencies and further power their mission.”

Contribution To Carbon Offset Initiatives
Pledge has also introduced a unique initiative where each and every cryptocurrency transaction will support verified carbon offset projects by contributing to this initiative.
This support through the transactions will happen via United Nations Climate Neutral Now Initiative. The project is to make up for the environmental impact of cryptocurrency mining and transactions.
According to Pledge’s website, a lot of top non-profits have started to accept cryptocurrency payments through the platform itself.
The year 2021, has been phenomenal for the growth of digital assets but apart from that a lot of development has happened in terms of donations made via cryptocurrencies for campaigns and causes.
