Bitcoin for Non-Profits
summary
Crowdfunding platform bitcoinsmiles.org raises donations from 900 donors (about 93% via Lightning) to fund dental rehabilitation in El Zonte, delivering free care and dentures to impoverished patients. New Story reports ~3,000 homes built previously and breaks ground on a 150–200 home El Zonte pilot, funded by philanthropy and grants (Coinbase, GiveCrypto) with land donated, where half the cost is a five‑year mortgage paid through the Bitcoin Beach wallet and before/after surveys show a 63% income increase for beneficiaries.
