How to Donate to Africa from the USA: Every Way to Give, and Where Your Money Goes
A practical guide to donate to Africa from anywhere in the United States. Choose a cause, give tax-deductibly to a 501(c)(3), and see exactly what your gift does.
Questions donors ask
Does my gift go to the cause I choose?
Yes. A gift to a named cause is recorded against that cause and spent on that programme. If a cause becomes fully funded, we use extra gifts for the next round of the same programme, and tell you in the report.
How will I know what my gift did?
You get an email receipt straight away, and a field report on your cause every quarter, with what was delivered, where, and the results measured against the targets listed on each cause page.
Is my donation tax-deductible?
In the United States, yes: GiveToAfrica is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 27-3982730) and your email receipt is valid for your tax return. In other countries, deductibility depends on local rules.
Which payment methods can I use?
We accept cryptocurrency: Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT and more than 100 other coins, through our payment processor NOWPayments. You choose your gift amount in US dollars, pounds, euros, Australian or Canadian dollars and pay the equivalent in the coin of your choice.
Can my company match my gift?
Many employers match their staff's donations. Add your employer's name when you give and we will send the paperwork. Companies can also give directly or sponsor a whole project on our company giving page.
