Humanitarian support for people affected by the war
In response to Russia’s full-scale military invasion on Ukraine, we’re setting up the Bitpanda Emergency Response Fund — a crowdfunding platform that allows you to contribute the crypto-assets of your choice to causes that provide humanitarian support to people affected by the war. We will convert all funds into euros without any fees and donate them to selected organisations on a weekly basis.
Bitpanda will kickstart the donations with a EUR 100,000 contribution and will be matching every donation, up to EUR 500,000 in total. On top of that, each of our three founders will make an individual contribution of EUR 50,000.
Your donation will help support the following causes. We will keep adding new organisations over time.
Every war is a war against children. They must be protected in times of crisis and conflict. Your donation will support children and their families in Ukraine and neighbouring countries. Together, we can help with e.g. medical supplies, blankets, hygiene kits, safe spaces for children, emergency educational resources and more.
