NFT stands for non-Fungible token. An NFT is like a digital certificate, held on a blockchain, and serves as proof of ownership. An NFT can be anything you can find online, including artwork, a video, a poem or even a digital concert ticket.

Currently we can’t accept donations of NFT’s to Alzheimer’s Research UK, but you can sell them on our behalf and donate the proceeds in Crypto or GBP. If you have NFT’s you’d like to sell, or if you’re an artist who would like to donate proceeds from NFT sales to Alzheimer’s Research UK, please get in touch with the team via email to onlinefundraising@alzheimersresearchuk.org

We explicitly treat all cryptocurrency donations as final and do not offer refunds. No goods, services or airdrops will be offered in exchange for cryptocurrency donations. Find out more about The Giving Block's refund policy.
