After a few months of research, Soccer Chaplains United, with the approval of the Board of Directors can now receive crypto currency donations. In order to do this, we have created an account with Every.org. Every.org will convert a variety of the most common crypto currencies into an instant donation for the ministry.
According to Every.org, they’ve been tracking donors and seeing that give 240% more in charitable giving than donors of other means. As we researched the different platforms for cryptocurrency acceptance, we decided that Every.org was the best fit for our organization.
Jeremy Tittle, on the donor profile of cryptocurrency donors
Every.org uses Coinbase, but will automatically convert your Bitcoin, Ethereum, or USD Coin to USD on behalf of Soccer Chaplains United. You will receive a donation receipt (from Every.org) once the transaction has been confirmed. Coinbase charges a flat 1% fee that is deducted from the crypto donation.
If someone desires to donate a different coin worth over $5k or to arrange a manual exchange with lower fees, email crypto@every.org and note Soccer Chaplains United as your charity of choice.
Every.org also allows donors to initiate a stock transfer (via First Republic Securities Company LLC) or to a Donor Advised Fund (DAF) transfer through its database. Every.org also take Venmo, PayPal and Credit and Debit Cards; however, all transactions will be receipted through Every.org and not Soccer Chaplains United. (But we will be super grateful 🤗 and send you a thank you card!)
We’ve also updated our DONATE page which has links and details the different ways that a donor can support the work of Soccer Chaplains United.
