Blockchain Charity Foundation USA makes a small number of very large, targeted grants that sit at the intersection of humanitarian response, financial inclusion, and blockchain/crypto research. Their funding supports emergency relief in conflict-affected regions (notably Ukraine), investments in inclusive fintech startups through Mercy Corps Ventures, and university research into blockchain and cryptocurrencies. The foundation appears to use crypto/philanthropy framing to back both direct humanitarian aid and ecosystem-building research and innovation.

Highly concentrated giving: very few, large grants to a small set of strategic partners. Mix of one-off large humanitarian grants and programmatic investments in fintech innovation and academic research rather than many small community grants.
Notable grantees: United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), UC Berkeley (blockchain/crypto research), Mercy Corps / Mercy Corps Ventures (FINX inclusive fintech initiative)
