HISTORY & IMPACT

Crypto Philanthropy is here to stay.

Inspired by the global generosity movement started by #GivingTuesday, Crypto Giving Tuesday was born. In 2019, The Giving Block’s Co-Founders, Alex Wilson and Pat Duffy, realized two things: first, that no community-building efforts had been established for crypto donors, and second, that crypto-friendly nonprofits needed a way to get loud together to increase their visibility.

From the start, Crypto Giving Tuesday has been the kick-off event for Bag Season, The Giving Block’s year-end crypto fundraising season which runs until December 31. Last year, supporters donated crypto worth $2.4 million to participating charities, with an average individual donation size of $12,600.
