World Food Program USA Expands Cryptocurrency Donations Amid Funding Shortfalls

The World Food Program USA is expanding its donation options to include over 80 cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDC, ApeCoin, BONK, and Dogecoin. This move is part of a larger fundraising effort to address the funding gap in providing long-term support to 58 million people at risk of starvation. The program’s Emergency Hunger Relief Fund aims to raise $25 million, following the Trump administration’s withdrawal of funding for United Nations emergency food aid programs in 14 nations including Afghanistan, Syria, and Yemen. 🌎 In response to this challenge, Dorota Amin, Chief Philanthropy and Partnerships Officer at World Food Program USA, advocates for a move toward new technologies like blockchain and cryptocurrencies.
