CoinList Gives Back For Giving Tuesday
This Giving Tuesday, we are proud to donate to ten organizations that CoinList employees are actively involved with and that improve employment outcomes for underprivileged and disadvantaged communities.
Earlier this year, we supported U.S. Representative’s Patrick McHenry’s office on the Clarity of Digital Tokens Act which takes up the work of SEC Commissioner Peirce in proposing the creation of a "token safe harbor" and creating thousands of crypto-related jobs in the U.S. This Giving Tuesday, we are proud to continue our commitment to empowering meaningful job creation.
Giving Tuesday is a global movement that has encouraged individuals to do good over the past several years and has inspired millions of people to engage in a simple act of generosity and give back in whatever ways they can. Often stylized as #GivingTuesday for hashtag activism, Giving Tuesday is the Tuesday after Thanksgiving in the United States.
We are honored to support the ten organizations described below that drive job creation in both the United States and globally, and we invite you to donate to them as well:
