JAKARTA – A world-famous breast cancer organization Susan G. Komen announced that it was accepting donations of crypto memes such as Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu (SHIB), Dogelon Mars (ELON), and other coins such as Gala (GALA), Civic (CVC) , and Orchids (OXT). This is the result of the collaboration of Susan G. Komen's organization with the donation solution The Giving Block as reported by U.Today.

For information, The Giving Block is a popular crypto charity platform that offers donations of the above coins. While the breast cancer organization is named after Susan Goodman Komen, who is a fashion model who was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 33. Three years after being diagnosed with cancer, Komen died.

Komen's sister, Nancy Brinker later founded a breast cancer organization using her sister Susan G. Komen's name in 1980. In order to provide awareness education about breast cancer health and research, the organization needed support in the form of donations. Susan G. Komen herself has invested US$1.1 billion since 1982.

With the announcement of organizations accepting donations in the form of cryptocurrencies, the owners of the aforementioned coins can now donate part of their holdings. The breast cancer organization's decision to accept crypto donations is because it is considered more tax efficient.

The Giving Block has been around since 2018 and has partnered with hundreds of charities. A non-profit organization Humanity Forward also reportedly accepted cryptocurrencies last May.

This December, The Giving Block introduced a new service aimed at simplifying the cryptocurrency donation process for the wealthy. Until now, The Giving Block continues to provide services to facilitate donations in the form of crypto.
