Making charitable donations should be as transparent and easy as possible. Learn more about how we’ve managed to achieve that for Turkey and Syria’s earthquake relief.
With Binance Charity, crypto donations are already making a difference in Turkey and Syria. We’ve made donating to our Earthquake Appeal: Rebuilding and Recovery project even easier — you can do so with just a few taps in the Binance app. This way, we can make sure all donated crypto funds get to their intended recipients as quickly as possible.
What Is the Emergency Earthquake Appeal?
Binance has recently launched its Emergency Earthquake Appeal: Rebuilding & Recovery initiative to raise essential humanitarian funds for Turkey and Syria. Raised funds will be donated to government-approved non-profit Kizilay (the Turkish Red Crescent) in Turkey and the major humanitarian NGO Mercy Corps in Syria. So far, the fundraising appeal — which accepts BTC, ETH, BNB, BUSD, and XRP — has raised more than $200,000 in crypto donations.
How Has Binance Pay Improved the Donation Process?
Crypto donations are transparent as they are recorded on a public, blockchain-powered ledger. This feature is essential in philanthropy as it allows us to ensure all funds reach the right people or organizations. It also helps build trust and accountability across the board.
Previously, making a crypto donation through Binance required users to send their funds directly to a Binance Charity cold wallet — hardly the quickest or most convenient method.
To simplify the process, Binance Pay allows you to make direct crypto donations without manual transactions. The system is still transparent, and all donations are recorded on-chain for maximum accountability.

Also, by enabling quicker donations, we hope to provide relief to those in need even more efficiently. If you’d like to donate today, head to the Emergency Earthquake Appeal site for more information and use Binance Pay in the Binance app.
