Bitcoin: how the charity RNLI is using the digital currency
Why did RNLI decide to use Bitcoins?
The idea came from our research into future trends and changes that may impact on the RNLI. Basically, it looked likely that we would receive digital currency as a donation and/or as part of a legacy at some point and we wanted to be prepared for that eventuality. While researching, we became aware that using Bitcoin could expose the RNLI to new audiences.

Over Labor Day weekend, the same subreddit that helped disseminate a
cache of nude celebrity photographs tried to organize an online
fundraiser "in honor of" Jennifer Lawrence, one of the actresses
victimized by the leak. One problem: The charity for which the money was
raised, the Prostate Cancer Foundation, didn’t want it. Neither did the backup nonprofit, Water.org.

The craze for video gaming for charity has seen some events rake in more than $1m in the US. Could UK fundraisers tap in?Could The IRS Disallow Ice Bucket Challenge Charitable Contributions?
Could The IRS Disallow Ice Bucket Challenge Charitable Contributions?
OK, rest easy; the IRS isn’t coming after your ALS donation. While the
principle of donative intent is very real, in recent years, the courts
have tied this principle to a “quid pro quo test,” which states that in
order for a donation to lack donative intent, the donor must anticipate
receiving a financial benefit from the contribution commensurate
with the value the donor transferred to the charity. Because an ice
bucket dodger has received no financial benefit, but rather merely a
physical one, the contribution is (should be) immune to attack. Plus, I
think I’ve read somewhere that the IRS is dealing with a bit of a public
perception problem these days, so attacking contributions to a horrible
disease is probably not in its best interest.
