At HALP, we are passionate about creating a world where generosity is streamlined, transparent, and impactful through blockchain technology. Our mission is to empower underserved and under-resourced causes to seamlessly accept cryptocurrency donations and connect with funders on a deeper, more personal level.
Why We Exist
It’s estimated that billions of dollars worth of cryptocurrency have been donated to nonprofit organizations to date. As of January 2024, 56% of the top 100 US charities accept cryptocurrency donations. While it’s thrilling to see this trend, we’ve observed a glaring disparity: the majority of these funds are directed toward well-resourced, large-scale nonprofits with technical teams and the capacity to adopt new technologies.
However, smaller, underserved causes often miss out. These organizations, driven by passionate individuals and small teams, lack the resources and technical expertise to navigate the complexities of onchain giving. As a result, they face significant challenges in accessing the benefits of cryptocurrency donations.
The Inspiration Behind HALP
We were inspired by the macro power of the crypto community to mobilize, as seen with initiatives like Ukraine DAO. However, we identified a critical need for more micro, local, and personal mobilization. That’s where HALP comes in. We offer an easy, seamless, safe, and verifiable way for individuals and causes to mobilize quickly. Our tools enable onchain giving, personal storytelling, promotional activities, and a suite of onchain incentive tools designed to help causes build and connect with funders on a deeper level.
Our Wins and Future Plans
We are delighted to announce that during Basecamp, we were selected as one of eleven winners for the Onchain Summer Buildathon in the payments track. This honor motivates us as we continue to be inspired by the BASE team, community, and the tools they provide.
We’re also excited to kick off our first accelerator cohort on Monday, August 12th. Over the next two weeks, we’ll onboard 25 causes, individuals, teachers, and nonprofits onchain, helping them to start raising funds for their initiatives. Our accelerator program includes guided steps on using HALP tools, workshops to effectively tell their stories and attract donors, and insights on best practices for on- and off-ramping into FIAT currency.
Additionally, we are thrilled to be speaking at next week’s Onchain Giving Summit on Friday, August 16th. We look forward to sharing our journey and the incredible potential of onchain giving to transform the way causes connect with supporters.
At HALP, we believe in the power of community and technology to drive meaningful change. We are committed to supporting those who need it most and ensuring that every cause, no matter how small, has the opportunity to thrive.
Thank you for joining us on this journey. Together, we can make a difference.
