BitGive Asks for Donations for Bitcoin Community Services
The BitGive Foundation — celebrating its 2nd Anniversary — is asking for donations to fund its mission to demonstrate the social value of Bitcoin to people around the world. To encourage donations, BitGive will hold an online auction on the occasion. Connie Gallippi, Founder and Executive Director of BitGive, took an early leadership role in Bitcoin philanthropy, founding BitGive in mid-2013. Gallippi aims to spread the knowledge about Bitcoin across the world. Pursuing the goal, the organization is organizing a fundraiser through an auction that will support the BitGive in its efforts.
