BPF Donation Platform Launch Event
The Blockchain Philanthropy Foundation is excited to be launching an industry-first cryptocurrency Donation Platform this coming Wednesday, 30th of October.
Last year, BPF announced our President Chris Zhong was recognised as an AMP Tomorrow Maker (read the full article here). Through this achievement, BPF have partnered with the AMP Foundation to bring an exciting event to Melbourne where we will unveil our Donation Platform, an industry-first platform that will help our Charity Partners achieve their mission.
The BPF Donation Platform has been in the works for around a year, and the focus has always been on getting Charities ahead of the game, and connecting Charitable organisations to the crypto community. With Crypto set to explode and impact all major pay systems, the BPF Donation Platform will enable charities to accept donations via a crypto wallet, from anywhere in the world. The Donation Platform will give our Charity Partners full transparency, security, and ownership of their donations.
“Partnering with BPF will greatly improve the ways in which WaterAid communicates with its current and potential partners, giving them a new avenue to support our programs overseas.
We pride ourselves for being an agile organisation, ready to capture the latest market trends and respond to emerging requests from the public. The added security of blockchain will make the whole donation process totally transparent and traceable, which perfectly aligns with our values of being an open and sharing organisation” — Federico Marcon (Head of Strategic Partnerships and Philanthropy, WaterAid)
Joining BPF on the night, we have our Charity Partners WaterAid and UNICEF presenting on their mission and goals, and how the BPF Partnership and Donation Platform can help in their work. Speaking on the night will be Shannon Fleming, Associate Director, Fundraising, Marketing from UNICEF and Rosie Wheen, Chief Executive from WaterAid. The Donation Platform will be fully functional, and both charities will be able to accept donations from a crypto wallet on the night. Members of the BPF Advisory Board will also be attending and there will be a panel discussion on the topic ‘Innovative Technology and Philanthropy.’

“We are very excited to be part of this event, that will be a fantastic opportunity for the industry to show that this sector remains nimble and willing to change in an increasingly complex financial landscape. We expect to meet many like-minded corporate and philanthropic supporters who are willing to explore new forms of collaboration with WaterAid.” — Federico Marcon (Head of Strategic Partnerships and Philanthropy, WaterAid)
