I'm looking to donate 310k sats.
But be careful:
- Link me the website, not the lnaddr. I will do massive due diligence and I am a Karen if I find anything.
- If you thought you could scam, I will fuck you up when you least expect it, so no funny business. Be honest.

Funds go to paying Bitcoin fees to timestamp the world's data.
Truth is something people from all walks of life and all politics should be able to agree on. Time-stamping is the easiest and cheapest way to add evidence that data is truth rather than lies.
You're on my annual list so I'm going to skip you on this one, but it would have been a good idea if that weren't the case.
Thanks!
I appreciate environmental orgs that accept bitcoin, like the Izindlovu Fund, because it counters all the FUD about btc destroying the environment.
(That said, I haven't done my due diligence beyond a basic look at their info, so hope they're on the up and up.)
I've not heard of these so I'll let some bots do some information gathering work on it (I'll have it start with collecting every snapshot on wayback machine of their org ever, lol)
I'll give feedback
@StillStackinAfterAllTheseYears - this is what the automated analyzer said about the fund you mentioned above - I only ran it against the landing page.
Thanks for this -- that second thing really strikes me as suspect.
Double checked some things. The recognition from the King's Foundation lasted until June 30th 2025, per the shared doc on their site, but since it states that it can be renewed that may just need an update. It's sometimes nice if one can read and understand Dutch lol. This can be easily checked.
The expansion seems to be real, they do mention their growth.
What I did found that's off is that the main activity of the fund is listed as other education, IT consultancy and admin, event organization and software design - but those codings are dumb af, so I wouldn't blame them for that.
It's a couple of LLM queries and an email away to ask the mentioned foundation what happened.
This may not be what you're looking for, but I'm a huge Anita fan:

Why are you a huge Anita fan?
Because I think she walks the walk. She is solidly bitcoin, does not look to personally profit from her donations, and has done good work fostering bitcoin communities in Africa. I look forward to your deep dive. Let's see what you dig up.
Great answer.
@anita did an AMA here, too: #978246
I'm aware; also have met at talks in the past. I'm just asking for pitches! It's important to understand why people recommend something.
Scraping the internet is easy. Even doing the DD is easy. All automated and what isn't there in my toolbox is being vibecoded as we speak. The reason why I ask is that SN happens to have quite the collection of high integrity Bitcoiners, so I'm explicitly looking at what other stackers think is worthy. Not to be lazy, but to do a high standards donation.
I'm literally planning to give away of the rewards for work I did for SN, so this is me paying forward the downstream of my most valueable posession: past time spent that I cannot get back.
She's done the work to onboard a number of people personally, and shared their stories of how they're using bitcoin to solve their problems. And that's not to mention all of the local Bitcoin meetups she's gotten off the ground and provided with educational resources (translated into the local languages before chatGPT no less.) She's on the front line and putting in the work for those that need bitcoin the most! I'm a fan too.
There are quite a few on Geyser, e.g. https://guide.geyser.fund/geyser-docs/guides/success-stories/orphans-of-uganda. Didn't do due diligence...
Good hint, thank you.
I'll have a bot go through their repo and see if I can use their API as a starting point for discovery. Won't be for this round but maybe in the future.
I am aware of some child help foundation and old age homes in India. But I don't think they accept Bitcoin. Actually that's sad!!
