Case Study: The University of Arizona Foundation expands giving opportunities with The Giving Block

How The Giving Block’s Widget Created New Opportunities to Give for The University of Arizona Foundation’s Donors

The University of Arizona Foundation, which supports scholarships, student experiences, athletics, research, and other university programs, was looking to expand its fundraising options and explore a new revenue stream. Before working with The Giving Block, the foundation had never accepted a cryptocurrency donation and wanted a low-risk way to offer crypto giving to its donors.

The University of Arizona Foundation implemented The Giving Block’s widget to accept and automate crypto donations, with development officers quickly trained to support donors using it. The solution made giving simple, auto-converted crypto to cash, and required little additional work from staff. Since launch, the foundation received its first crypto gift soon after adding the widget and has seen growing donor interest, with average monthly crypto donation volume reaching $21,833.
