Greenpeace USA Signs Up for Bitcoin Donations

Environmental campaign organization Greenpeace has announced it will start accepting bitcoin donations through payment processor BitPay.
For the time being, however, bitcoin donations will be limited to the US chapter of the organization.
Greenpeace does not accept donations from corporations or governments, which is one of the reasons it found bitcoin attractive.
Instead, it relies on individual donations and the cost of such transactions can easily add up, with credit card companies and other traditional payment providers usually charging nonprofits the same as commercial organisations, about 3 – 4% per transaction.
