Ripple Pledges $1M to Support Crucial Humanitarian Missions
Highlights:
- Ripple has pledged a $1 million donation to support humanitarian services in a new partnership deal with the IRC.
- With the new collaboration, Ripple aims to explore its financial products, including its stablecoin.
- The IRC CEO expressed happiness with the partnership, asserting it will enhance the humanitarian agency relief operations.
Cross-border payment firm and number one XRP distributor Ripple has disclosed it’s partnering with the International Rescue Committee (IRC). Interestingly, the collaboration deal appeared in a press release on Ripple’s official website.
The publication revealed that the integration involved a $1 million pledge in donations from Ripple to support the IRC mission. For context, the IRC is a leading humanitarian organization whose services aim to help victims of unfortunate events ranging from war and natural disasters survive by offering them opportunities for better lives.
Founded in 1933, the IRC has overseen several relief operations spanning over forty nations, with over $70 million spent in cash and voucher reliefs. Similarly, with its Ripple Impact program, the payment firm has sealed partnerships with non-governmental organizations operating in about 80 countries.
In 2018, Ripple collaborated with the Madonna charity organization to feed orphans in Malawi. Meanwhile, recently, Ripple donated a whopping $250,000 to assist recovery operations from Hurricanes Milton and Helene. Considering the IRC and Ripple’s exploits in rendering relief support to the needy, one could assert the partnership will blossom.
Speaking on the significance of the collaboration, Eric van Miltenburg, SVP of Strategic Initiatives at Ripple, remarked:
“Partnering with the IRC marks an important milestone in Ripple’s mission to leverage blockchain technology for positive global impact.”
