XRP has millions of holders and very few charities that will take it into their own wallet. That mismatch is the whole story, and there is a technical detail underneath it that can cost you the money entirely if you get it wrong.
Every organisation below was checked on 1 October 2026 by loading that organisation's own page. Not a directory, not a press release, not a search summary.
Coin lists change without warning. This is a snapshot with a date on it.
The short answer
| Organisation | Also accepts | How they receive it |
|---|---|---|
| Electronic Frontier Foundation | BTC, ETH, LTC, ZEC, ADA, SOL, DOGE, DASH, ALGO, FIL, USDT, BUSD | Own published addresses |
| Internet Archive | BTC, ETH, FIL, ZEC, USDC, USDT | Own published addresses |
Two organisations publishing their own XRP address. Both are digital-rights and digital-preservation projects, which is the pattern across this entire series: the charities holding their own wallets are the ones that were already running their own infrastructure.
XRP is of course reachable at many more charities through donation processors, where it sits in a dropdown and is sold for dollars on arrival. The coin list in those cases belongs to the processor, not the charity.
The Internet Archive also notes that, with the help of an exchange partner, it can accept many other cryptocurrencies beyond the ones it lists — a useful honesty about where the direct list ends and the intermediary begins.
The destination tag, and why it matters more here than anywhere else
This is the part to read twice.
The XRP Ledger supports a destination tag: a number that tells the receiving institution which account a payment belongs to. Exchanges and custodians pool many users' XRP in one address and use the tag to work out whose deposit it is.
If a charity receives XRP at an exchange-hosted address and you send without the tag, your donation lands in a pooled wallet with nothing identifying it. Recovering it depends entirely on the exchange's goodwill and its support queue. Sometimes it is returned. Sometimes it is not.
If the charity runs its own XRP Ledger account, a tag is usually unnecessary — but "usually" is not a word to gamble a donation on.
So: before sending XRP anywhere, check whether the recipient publishes a destination tag, and if the page does not say, ask before you send. This is the single most common way XRP donations are lost, and it is entirely avoidable.
We wrote more generally about this class of mistake in what to do when you send crypto to the wrong address.
A candid limitation worth repeating
EFF states on its own page that, because of the nature of cryptocurrency transactions, it cannot offer donor gifts, acknowledgements for tax purposes, or official membership to people who donate at those addresses.
That is an unusually straight thing for a charity to put on a donation page, and it is the kind of disclosure we think should be standard. A crypto donation often cannot be tied to a person the way a card payment can, and pretending otherwise sets donors up for disappointment at tax time.
How to check any of this yourself
- Open the organisation's own domain. Not a directory, not a search summary, not this page.
- Find the coin list. If there isn't one, you are looking at a processor's dropdown.
- For XRP specifically, look for a destination tag — and if there isn't one mentioned, ask before sending.
- Look for a date. An undated crypto page is often years stale.
- If they claim a public ledger, open it and click through to a block explorer to confirm a transaction exists.
Where we stand
TraceGood accepts XRP, alongside more than thirty other coins and networks. Every confirmed donation appears on our public ledger with a link to the transaction on an independent block explorer.
Our checkout shows you the exact address and any tag required before you send, on the page itself, so there is nothing to guess at. If anything about that flow is unclear, that is a fault worth telling us about — say so and we will fix it.
We are a newly founded organisation whose registration as a non-profit association in Estonia is not yet complete, and donations to us are not tax-deductible anywhere. Our About page carries the full position.
