I never realized this, but today I gave it a try and realized that GoGetFounding is one of the few platforms that easily allow anyone around the world to raise funds in Bitcoin!

Yes, anyone, anywhere from New York to Nairobi, can now fundraise in Bitcoin! They have a dedicated Bitcoin Fundraising page right on the website footer together with a dedicated blog post originally titled You Can Now Fundraise With Bitcoin on GoGetFunding!, and recently updated.

Isn't this fantastic? One of the major seven crowdfunding platforms worldwide allows creators in any part of the world to create campaigns and accept donations in bitcoin. The option for Donors to donate anonymously is enabled by default in the campaign dashboard, so it's up to the campaign manager(s) to activate it in case some extra donor information is needed.
I was even more surprised to see that Bitcoin is the first payment option in the campaign creation, followed by the traditional financial institutions options.

The requirement to attach a wallet is simply to introduce a bitcoin address. Nothing more! Stackers, no offense, but this is even better and easier than Satsrisers! And the fee is only 3% of each received donation.
As you are probably guessing, I could not resist creating one campaign and testing the full functionalities. I decided to create one for the AGORA, firstly because it is still impossible here in SN to zap directly any stacker or territory.

So yep, here it is, our GoGetFounding crowdfunding campaign! The only pity is that you need to connect a fiat payment system to verify the campaign and start receiving donations. That's a real downside, at least for us!

Wish this will be helpful for other organizations that are looking to easily receive donations in Bitcoin and do not have the technical knowledge to set up something more independent like BTCpay server, LNbits, or other similar opensource tools.

So why GoGetFounding? As I mentioned, I'm a curious gal, and I wanted to validate some assumptions before making a post about this discovery. This is also part of my efforts to promote the AGORA and, indirectly, SN outside in the Wild West Web.

Enjoy!
