Cryptocurrency donations are helping communities impacted by Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton have left millions of people in devastation.

This fund was created to support charitable organizations with their relief efforts.“We are working with each of these organizations individually to ensure that donations go directly to providing essential services like medical care, food, shelter, and humanitarian aid for children, families, and animals affected by the devastation,” Duffy said.
The Giving Block is partnering with a number of well-known organizations like “Save The Children” and “Project Hope” to enable donors to make crypto donations and more.
“We’re empowering individuals to donate in multiple ways – crypto, stocks, donor-advised funds, credit cards – to maximize the impact of their contributions during this critical time,” he said.
Duffy further shared that Jared Isaacman – the CEO of The Giving Block’s parent company Shift4 – will be matching the next $500,000 in donations.
“Every single contribution, across all of these giving methods, is currently being matched dollar for dollar until we’ve reached our first $1,000,000 in support,” Duffy remarked.
