CEX.IO Donation Widget Support Options Now Include UNICEF

, May 26, 2022

Since the launch of our Donation Widget earlier this month, your generous crypto contributions have provided urgently needed support to organizations protecting and saving lives in Ukraine. Thanks to you, the National Specialized Children’s Hospital of Ukraine (OHMATDYT) and the International Rescue Committee (IRC) are able to continue the important work they’ve dedicated to helping children and families survive and rebuild their lives. 

This week, we’re proud to announce that UNICEF has been added to the list of options available in the Donation Widget dropdown menu. UNICEF works in the world’s toughest places to reach the most disadvantaged children and protect the rights of every child, everywhere. Across more than 190 countries and territories, including Ukraine, it helps children survive, thrive and fulfill their potential, from early childhood through adolescence 

The ongoing war in Ukraine has displaced an increasing number of children and their families, leaving them in need of critical humanitarian relief and access to psychological support and protection. We can and must help provide it – by supporting organizations like UNICEF who are on the ground responding to the growing humanitarian needs. Your charitable crypto donations – in any amount – will be put to urgent, valuable use. 

If you are a CEX.IO verified user logged into your account, it takes less than a minute to make a real difference in a suffering child’s life. Just select the organization from the dropdown menu. Add the cryptocurrency option and donation amount of your choice, and click “Proceed.” That’s all there is to it. 

The war in Ukraine has had a harrowing impact on the lives of children and families. As long as suffering persists, CEX.IO remains committed. More organizations working to save lives in Ukraine, and those which provide essential information, healthcare, or relocation aid to those displaced, will be added in the coming weeks. You can be a part of a continuing international effort to help people in the most dire circumstances. 

We look forward to the day when the war is well past us. And when it is, we will continue to leverage this widget, working with causes that make a positive difference in the world. 

Thank you for your support of the people of Ukraine.

* Donated crypto will be converted into fiat, and 100% of funds collected will benefit the organization. CEX.IO waives any and all processing fees. As with any charitable donation, consult with your tax professional regarding any potential tax deduction. In order to donate, you must be a verified CEX.IO user actively logged into your account.
