WeTrust Spring created for crypto donations
WeTrust recently launched WeTrust Spring, a platform that allows social entrepreneurs and nonprofits to raise funds via cryptocurrencies.
Today on Giving Tuesday, WeTrust will match donations by anyone who donates Ethereum to one of the platform’s 18 current nonprofit partners.
WeTrust Spring charities include Open Library, The Lupus Foundation, Learning Equality, Rainforest Trust, Surgeons of Hope, and numerous other worthy causes.
We encourage BlockcoinToday readers to support these valuable causes with a cryptocurrency donation at the WeTrust Spring website. Kudos to WeTrust for creating a worthy program in itself.
