The Binance Charity endeavour, a non-profit focused on “blockchain-enabled” philanthropy, has begun a new cryptocurrency-powered fundraising campaign supporting the Malta Community Chest Foundation.
The Foundation supports terminally ill patients, the disabled, disadvantaged, and their families, in Malta and the Gozo region. The “2018 L-Istrina Campaign” hopes to build on the work of the charity which helped 15,000 people in 2017. Its contributions cover medical and social assistance, advisory services, and care packages, to improve the lives of those affected by illness and poverty.
According to recent reports Binance and the TRON Foundation, parent to the TRON blockchain and coin, will each donate $100,000 in cryptocurrency themselves.
Blockchain to Provide Transparency
The Binance Charity Foundation (BCF) is tracking donations to the campaign, currently sitting at the equivalent of just over 0.27 Bitcoin (BTC) or $1,000 on the website. With the BCF platform donations are recorded via blockchain and published online. For transparency, part of the motivation for using blockchain technology, the Maltese foundation will also report on the number of beneficiaries, the type of assistance, and the amount spent across different categories of support.
A televised 12-hour “telethon” is planned for a future date to raise further funds and announce total donations.
Popular cryptocurrency exchange Binance created its charity, BCF, in October 2018, in part to bring transparency to the non-profit sector using blockchain. Blockchain’s immutable nature and real-time trusted sharing of transactions could help to prove where charitable donations are eventually spent, answering concerns in the charitable sector over the misuse and misappropriation of funds.
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has partnered with BCF to support the use of blockchain for social good and BCF has contributed $1 million in funding to the UNDP programme. Following this, TRON founder Justin Sun pledged his support as well as a donation of $3 million from the TRON Foundation to BCF. Speaking at the time Helen Hai, Head of BCF said:
“Blockchain is mobilizing governments, NGOs and the private sector, to transform the charitable giving sector. With the donation tracking platform we are developing at BCF, we are ensuring full transparency and accountability in donations made through the BCF system, with direct reach to end beneficiaries.”
Binance has also in recent months raised $410,000 for the West Japan flood disaster and is running a second campaign on the BCF website for a flood relief program in Bukalasi, Uganda.
Excellent website you have here but I was curious about if you knew of any community forums that cover the same topics discussed in this article?

I would love to add if you do not already have an insurance policy or perhaps you do not participate in any group insurance, you could possibly well make use of seeking aid from a health broker. Self-employed or people with medical conditions generally seek the help of a health insurance brokerage service. Thanks for your text.

According to my study, after a the foreclosure home is marketed at a bidding, it is common to the borrower to be able to still have the remaining balance on the bank loan. There are many loan merchants who make an effort to have all service fees and liens paid by the following buyer. Having said that, depending on certain programs, legislation, and state laws and regulations there may be many loans that are not easily fixed through the shift of loans. Therefore, the obligation still lies on the borrower that has received his or her property in foreclosure. Many thanks sharing your ideas on this blog.
