Decentralized charity portal: Empowering transparent philanthropy through blockchain technology

Ensuring transparency and efficiency in charitable contributions is critical in philanthropy. This paper proposes a decentralized charity platform to address the need for a transparent and streamlined system connecting donors with diverse charity organizations. The platform’s architecture supports comprehensive user registration for donors, volunteers, beneficiaries, NGOs, and service providers, incorporating robust verification mechanisms to ensure legitimacy. It facilitates two campaign types: Direct Beneficiary Support Campaigns, directing funds to verified individuals, and Community Relief Campaigns, allocating resources to service providers. Advanced tracking mechanisms allow donors to monitor the real-time progress of contributions, enhancing transparency and accountability. Volunteers are integrated via NGO-coordinated opportunities, and transparent reporting mechanisms provide donors with detailed records of funds raised and expenditures, fostering trust. Beneficiaries can convert cryptocurrency into local currency, with direct deposits to bank accounts, improving financial accessibility. This platform addresses challenges in traditional donation methods and fragmented volunteer coordination, maximizing the impact of charitable contributions on societal needs.
