From Bitcoin to Building Bridges: How Cryptocurrency is Supporting Israel’s Future

From Bitcoin to Building Bridges: How Cryptocurrency is Supporting Israel’s Future

While your Bubbe’s Blue Box only had space for quarters and dimes, you can now support the land and people of Israel in a new and innovative way with cryptocurrency.


When you think about supporting our Jewish Homeland, what comes to mind? These days, it is the critical needs facing Israel’s residents following the heinous attacks of October 7. The funds needed to rebuild and re-imagine the Israeli communities located along the borders of Gaza and Lebanon are staggering. The need for resources has never been greater and now there’s a new way to support this critical endeavor: cryptocurrency. Yes, you can now turn your Bitcoin, Ethereum, or even Dogecoin into a force for good for the land and people of Israel!

Crypto Giving: Not Your Bubbe’s Donation Strategy

Picture this: You’re explaining to your grandparents around the shabbat table how you just supported Israel.

“You know, Bubbe, instead of writing a check, I sent some Bitcoin to help re-build a kibbutz in Southern Israel.”
“Bit-what? How does that help?”

It’s not an easy concept to wrap your head around, but cryptocurrency is quickly becoming a modern, secure, and efficient way to make an impact. And now, Jewish National Fund-USA is paving the way for digital giving.

Why Crypto?

  1. It’s Tax-Smart: Donating cryptocurrency can help you avoid capital gains taxes. That means more of your donation goes to the cause, rather than Uncle Sam.
  2. It’s Convenient: With platforms like The Giving Block, converting your crypto into charitable donations is simple and secure.
  3. It’s Unique: Be the one to tell your friends, “My Ethereum helped rebuild Israel.”

 

What Your Crypto Can Do in Israel

  • Rebuild Communities: Fund housing and infrastructure in communities devastated by the October 7 attacks.
  • Help the environment: Restore Israel’s green spaces and combat desertification.
  • Emergency Services: Support Israel’s Fire & Rescue Authority as well as Emergency Response Centers in remote Israeli communities
  • Support Programs for People with Disabilities: Empower individuals with inclusive opportunities.
  • Invest in Water Solutions: Back innovative technologies to address water scarcity in Israel

Your Bitcoin can irrigate farmland. Your Ethereum can help build schools. Even your Dogecoin can support programs that change lives for people with disabilities.

How to Get Started

  1. Check your crypto wallet and decide which assets you want to donate.
  2. Visit The Giving Block.
  3. Select “Jewish National Fund” and choose your cryptocurrency.
  4. Feel good knowing your digital assets are transforming lives in Israel.

Crypto for Israel: The Zionist Future is Here

Supporting the people of Israel with cryptocurrency might sound unexpected, but innovation has always been at the heart of Israel’s story. From pioneering drip irrigation systems to becoming a global tech hub, Israel thrives on creativity and progress powered by Jewish National Fund-USA.

By donating cryptocurrency, you’re not just giving; you’re joining a movement that connects cutting-edge technology with timeless values. Your digital currency can create a lasting impact for the land and people of Israel.

The future of giving is here. Are you ready to be part of it? Donate your cryptocurrency to Jewish National Fund today. Visit jnf.org/crypto, call 800.562.7526, or email [email protected].
