Uphold, a provider of crypto wallet and exchange accounts, today announced that GiveTrack by BitGive is now live on Uphold, allowing its members to donate to any of the charitable projects on the GiveTrack platform.
Moreover, up until today, donations through BitGive have been restricted to bitcoin only, but Uphold donors can make donations using fiat and several cryptocurrencies (including Ethereum, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, and Dash).
GiveTrack offers blockchain-based transparency, enabling donors to trace transactions on a public platform in real time. Users can see how funds are spent and ensure they reach their final destination. Project results are shared for direct engagement with donors.
BitGive has established strong partnerships and raised funds with well-known charities including Save the Children, The Water Project, TECHO and Medic Mobile. It is the first bitcoin nonprofit to enjoy federal tax exemption status under Section 501(c)(3) of the US Internal Revenue Code and aims to revolutionize global philanthropy by leveraging the power of blockchain technology to improve public health and the environment worldwide.
