Case Study: San Antonio Area Foundation raises $25K in crypto donations with FreeWill’s Crypto for Charity

How a local nonprofit supports a community in crisis with crypto philanthropy – gains new major donors

The San Antonio Area Foundation faced internal hesitancy to adopt cryptocurrency donations, with stakeholders finding the process daunting and being unaware of the associated tax benefits. This challenge became urgent following the Uvalde, Texas tragedy, prompting the organization to partner with FreeWill and implement their Crypto for Charity service to quickly provide donors with a new way to give.

FreeWill's solution enabled the San Antonio Area Foundation to establish a crypto-giving page within a week. This quickly resulted in a $25,000 donation from a new major donor, which was liquidated and distributed to support Uvalde relief efforts. The success provided the measurable impact of securing immediate funds for the community and gave SAAFdn the internal buy-in to permanently integrate crypto into their development strategy.
