Ariana Grande’s fundraiser Pledge adds crypto option

Fundraising platform Pledge has launched PledgeCrypto to allow nonprofits to accept crypto donations in more than 130 cryptocurrencies — including Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH) and Tether (USDT) — and then turn them into fiat money.

Famous music artist Ariana Grande, a prominent advocate for transgender rights and the founder of her own charity — Protect and Defend Trans Youth Fund — is working with Pledge to raise money for LGBTQ organizations that advocate for and provide direct services to transgender youth.

Ariana Grande has offered to match up to $1.5 million in donations.

The announcement says PledgeCrypto is a free, fully integrated fiat and cryptocurrency donation platform where donations are delivered to verified nonprofit organizations. It does not require technical knowledge, crypto wallet expertise or Know Your Customer documentation.

Pledge has also introduced a mechanism that allows each crypto transaction to contribute to verified carbon offset initiatives via the United Nations Climate Neutral Now Initiative to offset the environmental impact of cryptocurrency mining and transactions.
