How to donate to Gaza with crypto

What you need before you start

You need somewhere that holds crypto and can send it: a self-custody wallet (such as a phone or hardware wallet) or an account at an exchange that allows withdrawals to an outside address. Either works.

You also need a little extra of the network's own coin to pay the transaction fee. Sending USDT on Ethereum, for example, costs a fee paid in ETH; on Tron the fee is paid in TRX; on Solana, in SOL. If your wallet shows an error about fees, that is usually why.

Step by step: sending your donation

The whole process takes a few minutes. Take the address check slowly.

• Open fightforpalestine.org/donate in your browser, typing the web address yourself rather than following a link someone sent you.
• Pick the coin and network you are sending from, for example USDT on Tron (TRC-20), and press "Get my donation address". You can add an amount and an email for your confirmation.
• Copy your one-time address with the copy button, or scan the QR code from your phone wallet.
• Paste it into your wallet's send screen and compare the first six and last six characters with the address on the page. They must match exactly.
• Check the minimum shown with the address. Transfers below it can't be processed and are lost.
• For a large gift, you can send a small test first (above the minimum), wait for the page to show it, then send the rest to the same address.
• Choose the same network in your wallet or exchange that you picked on our page, then send. The page updates when your transfer is detected and again when it confirms.
• Keep the transaction ID (also called the hash or TxID). It is your proof of the gift.

Which coin and network should you use?

Any coin we list gets to us. The practical differences are how stable the value is and how much the transfer costs you.

Making sure you're sending to the right address

Crypto transfers can't be reversed, so the address check matters more than anything else. Three habits prevent almost every mistake:

• Only use an address created for you on fightforpalestine.org/donate. Donation addresses come from that page; if someone sends you one by message, email or social media and says it is ours, don't use it.
• Use each address for one gift. For another gift, start again on the donate page for a fresh address.
• Never copy an address from your wallet's transaction history. Scammers send tiny transfers from look-alike addresses ("address poisoning") hoping you will copy the wrong one next time.
• Check the first and last characters after you paste. Some malware swaps an address on your clipboard for the attacker's.

After you send

Your transfer appears on the public blockchain as soon as the network picks it up, and anyone can look it up by its transaction ID in a block explorer (here's how). Once it has confirmed, the gift has arrived.

If you gave an email, we send a confirmation once your gift arrives. Otherwise keep the reference shown on the page and contact us if you need one. We don't issue tax receipts; see the questions below.

If you sent something by mistake, for example twice, our refund policy explains how to ask us to review it within 14 days. A transfer sent on the wrong network, or below the minimum, may not be recoverable at all.

Crypto giving to Gaza: what to know first

Crypto lets people give across borders without a bank in the middle, which is why many donors choose it. The same openness makes it attractive to scammers, and fake appeals for Gaza that ask for crypto are a real problem. Treat any request you can't trace to an organisation's own website with suspicion.

It is also worth knowing what US consumer regulators advise. The Federal Trade Commission's guidance on the Gaza crisis tells donors not to give to anyone who insists on payment in cryptocurrency, and to prefer a credit card for its protections. Its crypto guidance adds that crypto payments typically can't be reversed and don't come with legal protections. We accept crypto only, so that advice applies to us as much as anyone: give only once you are satisfied with the checks below.

Authorities also act against crypto they link to armed groups. In July 2025, for example, the US Justice Department announced a civil forfeiture action against about $2 million in digital currency it alleged was involved in Hamas fundraising. Stablecoins come with a related condition many donors don't know about: the companies that issue them can freeze addresses, and do so at the request of authorities. That's one more reason to give only through an organisation's own website, and only to organisations that explain where funds go.

Our guide to donating safely to Gaza covers the checks to run on any organisation, including us.
