Dogs for Better Lives has just surpassed a meaningful milestone within the cryptocurrency community. Since first accepting cryptocurrency donations in 2021 through The Giving Block, we’ve now received more than $100,000 in crypto gifts—all in support of our mission to professionally train and place life-changing Assistance Dogs with people who need them, free of charge.
This achievement wouldn’t be possible without the vision and generosity of the crypto community. Whether you’ve donated Bitcoin, Ethereum, or another digital asset, every contribution has helped us provide greater independence and support for people who are deaf or hard of hearing, children with autism, and professionals working in facilities such as schools, hospitals, and courtrooms.
“We’ve been truly inspired by the generosity of the crypto community,” said Sara Ifert, VP of Marketing at Dogs for Better Lives. “Since we began accepting crypto donations, we’ve seen passionate donors use their digital assets to make a real-world difference. Their support is helping us change lives—one dog and one person at a time.”
One reason many crypto donors choose Dogs for Better Lives is the impact of their gift. Thanks to the generosity of our Guardian Society members—who cover all administrative and fundraising costs through endowment support—100% of every donation, including crypto, goes directly to our programmatic services. That means your contribution goes even further in helping to raise, train, and place incredible dogs with people who need them.
We’d like to extend a special thank you to our most recent donor, Buddies for Paws, for their continued support. As one of their selected charity partners, we’re proud to be part of their vision of using decentralized giving to uplift people and animals alike.
We also want to sincerely thank every cryptocurrency donor who has contributed over the past few years. Your belief in our mission and willingness to give in new ways is deeply appreciated—and has already made a significant impact.

Together, we’re proving that no matter the currency, compassion and generosity are universal.
