Case Study: She’s the First Achieves New Fundraising Revenue with The Giving Block

How Crypto Donations Kept She’s the First Thriving During the COVID-19 Pandemic and Beyond

She’s the First, a civil and human rights nonprofit fighting for girls’ education and leadership, needed new fundraising sources during the COVID-19 pandemic as schools closed and demand for support grew across 11 countries. Tammy Tibbetts and her team were looking for a way to keep funding their programs while maintaining connections with the 13,000 girls they served, and they turned to The Giving Block to start accepting crypto donations.

With The Giving Block’s crypto donation platform, She’s the First quickly unlocked a new revenue stream and received a $42,335 crypto gift that was converted to cash and deposited into their bank account. The funding helped them hit their mid-year fundraising goal and release relief funds, enabling mentors to connect with 6,139 girls, deliver food, water, and menstrual kits to 1,439 girls and families, and provide adapted education materials to 6,810 girls. Tammy said the startup cost had already paid for itself nearly 10 times over, showing the measurable impact of The Giving Block.
