Global Nonprofit Operation Smile Opens Its Doors to Crypto Donations
Operation Smile is one of the largest surgical volunteer-based nonprofits in the world now accepting crypto assets like bitcoin and dogecoin. This nonprofit organization helps people with cleft conditions improve their lifestyles.
The announcement says cryptocurrency donations will help bolster “Operation Smile’s mission to increase the accessibility of surgical care in underserved communities around the world so that patients can live lives of improved health and dignity.”
The nonprofit also joins the growing list of well known companies and charitable organizations leveraging crypto acceptance. Nonprofits like the Tony Hawk Foundation, The Skatepark Project, and charitywater.org utilize donations made with crypto assets.
Operation Smile cofounder and CEO Bill Magee explained “We felt that the time was right to provide cryptocurrency investors with the opportunity to extend their generosity to the children and families we serve.”
The surgical volunteer-based nonprofit’s announcement notes the organization is “committed to providing patients with health that lasts—being there to offer patients additional surgeries, dentistry, psychological services, speech therapy, and other essential cleft treatments.”
