What Ripple will donate on

The Ripple management team says that the RfG program will work particularly with educational programs involving fintech, science and other crucial spheres in practical training. The social program will ensure the donations go to support applying these areas on real-life cases which would have a large social impact.

Ripple co-founder and chairman Chris Larsen:

“We have to stop being self-righteous disruptors and instead focus on building things that solve real-world problems. If we focus the Blockchain movement on that, over two bln underbanked people can become full economic citizens.”

The amount of the donation is $100 mln.

Previous experience with charity
