Donate Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies

Donating cryptocurrency to WDC is easy. Use the form above, select your cryptocurrency type, complete the information, receive the wallet address, and make your donation.

Bitcoin is an innovative new kind of currency and we believe that accepting Bitcoin will result in donations we may not otherwise receive, as well as connecting us with new types of supporters.

Also, we believe it likely that we will receive digital currency as a donation and/or as part of a legacy at some point and we want to be prepared for that eventuality.

In this initial pilot stage, we have set up our Bitcoin wallet to only accept donations where the funder identifies themselves. Charities are able to accept anonymous donations, and we expect to be able to accept anonymous donations once we have used this system for a while and ensured we are happy with the information we are getting.

Yes, we’ve selected a provider that we believe offers the best level of protection for our Bitcoin. The Giving Block is used by many charities in North America and increasingly in the UK.

As with all online transactions you should take care when entering your information and follow reasonable security measure with your personal information.

We already have safeguards in place to monitor donations, however we receive them. However, in the pilot stage we are not accepting anonymous donation. If we do in future, we will notify the Charity Commission should an individual anonymous donation exceed a certain amount.

Bitcoin payments are irreversible by the sender, so any refund would need to be made by request to the WDC in writing and could be assessed at that point.
