Company Background:

The Giving Block, a Shift4 company, is the platform helping nonprofits fundraise more effectively from modern philanthropists. Pioneers of the “Crypto Philanthropy” movement, The Giving Block developed the leading solutions for cryptocurrency donations, taking crypto and NFT donations mainstream in the nonprofit sector. The Giving Block’s team then developed a stock giving experience built to empower even more donors to give non-cash assets. When combined, The Giving Block’s product suite empowers more donors than ever to give assets to their favorite causes. Today, thousands of nonprofits are using The Giving Block to fundraise from modern philanthropists. Learn more about The Giving Block here.

Shift4’s entry into the nonprofit market began when our CEO raised $243 million for St. Jude as part of his trip to space. Soon after, we acquired The Giving Block, the leader in Crypto Philanthropy. Now we’re expanding to formally offer a full range of payment processing products and services to the nonprofit industry.
