World Food Program USA Accepts Cryptocurrency Donations to Boost Global Hunger Relief

Washington, D.C. — April 8, 2025
The World Food Program USA announced that it is now accepting donations in over 80 cryptocurrencies, including major assets like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). The initiative aims to modernize donation infrastructure and expand access to supporters using digital assets.

The move is part of the organization's broader mission to leverage innovation in the fight against global hunger, providing supporters with more flexible ways to contribute to food assistance efforts worldwide.

"Embracing cryptocurrency allows us to connect with a new generation of donors who are committed to using digital finance for good," a WFP USA spokesperson said in the announcement.

The accepted cryptocurrencies will be processed via a secure donation platform that supports a wide range of tokens, including stablecoins and altcoins.

 Expanding Humanitarian Impact with Digital Tools

The adoption of crypto donations comes amid growing interest in using blockchain and Web3 technologies for social impact and humanitarian aid. By accepting digital assets, WFP USA can potentially:

• Speed up fund transfers

• Lower transaction costs

• Enable cross-border donations with fewer barriers

 A Growing Trend Among Nonprofits

WFP USA joins a growing list of global nonprofits—including UNICEF, Save the Children, and The Water Project—that have integrated cryptocurrency into their donation models.
