Not often, but every now and then.<\/p>\n<p>A few months back I hosted an episode with Beth Kanter and Alison Fine and we talked about how artificial intelligence can be used in nonprofits. I actually kept up with the conversation. Like I said\u2026 cutting edge.<\/p>\n<p>But I have to admit that the topic of today\u2019s podcast made me a little nervous. Cryptocurrency and its role with donor advised funds. Really? Why yes.<\/p>\n<p>It seems that more and more folks are donating with cryptocurrency. You know, bitcoin, ethereum, stuff like that? And meanwhile, only a few large nonprofits have any idea what to do with it.<\/p>\n<p>So I\u2019m kind of a podcast host toddler here being thrown into the deep end of the pool without swimmies. So it\u2019s a little daunting. But it\u2019s also really exciting!<\/p>\n<p>My guest today is Robbie Heeger who is the CEO of Endaoment, America\u2019s first Community Foundation to be powered by a blockchain. Blockchain? I leave it to Robbie to explain.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the thing. This new financial infrastructure just might be the future of fundraising. It\u2019s fascinating stuff and I invite you to have a listen.<\/p>\n<h2><!--more--><\/h2>\n<h2>About Robbie:<\/h2>\n<p>Robbie Heeger is the President &amp; CEO of Endaoment, the nation&#8217;s first Community Foundation to be powered by a blockchain. Endaoment accepts more than 150 different crypto assets as donations to its Donor-Advised Funds, enabling donors to make charitable contributions with crypto while organizations receive grant awards as dollars wired directly into their traditional bank account as USD. Heeger is a self-taught software engineer who began working on Endaoment after spending seven years working for Apple&#8217;s media products division. He lives in San Francisco with his fiancee, Ariel, and their 3 year-old corgi, Squid.<\/p>\n<h2>In this Podcast:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>What\u2019s a blockchain?<\/li>\n<li>Do cryptocurrencies fluctuate?
