Donate Cryptocurrency

Making a cryptocurrency donation to support Develop Africa enables us to fulfill our mission to support and promote education in Africa. We believe every child is entitled to fundamental human rights and should be treated with dignity. By providing educational opportunities to children and youth, we work against the efforts to pull them into violent and destructive paths. Education is their best weapon against impoverishment, disease, early marriage, gang activities, and other undesirable life paths. Educated children stand a better chance of having opportunities for constructive and positive life paths.

 

With the support of cryptocurrency donations, we can establish computer labs and provide training in schools in Africa where the technology gap threatens the bright future of those without computer experience. 

Support Develop Africa by making a charitable gift in cryptocurrency. We accept donations in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and over 80 additional leading cryptocurrencies.

What is cryptocurrency?

Cryptocurrency is any form of currency that only exists digitally. Types of cryptocurrency include Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Zcash, Gemini dollar, Basic Attention Token, Chainlink, and more. 



Why donate cryptocurrency?

Donating cryptocurrency is a non-taxable event, meaning you do not owe capital gains tax on the appreciated amount and can deduct it from your taxes. This makes Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency donations one of the most tax-efficient ways to support your favorite cause. 

 

What do we do with your cryptocurrency donation?

Cryptocurrency donations can be used to support any of our projects. We use funds that come from cryptocurrency donations to provide COVID-19 relief, educational support, malaria prevention, technology and skills training, and microfinance loans.
