We are now accepting donations in bitcoin at our new fundraiser page.

Why a fundraiser page, you might ask? As you may know, our fiscal host is Open Collective and their platform only allows for fiat-denominated donations. By working with every.org they have been able to expand those options to include bitcoin (and other cryptocurrencies). Every.org provides tax-deductible receipts to donors and all the other complexities with handling crypto donations (more here). So if you donate bitcoin via every.org, that money goes to Open Collective Europe, earmarked to the Bitcoin Design Foundation, for distribution via grants.

As a small team in these early stages of the foundation, we rely heavily on partners and platforms for operations. This naturally involves fees, but also allows us to focus on the foundation mission.

Not accepting bitcoin so far has felt like a weird limitation. Now that’s gone. Take a look.
