From the project READMEEndaoment Charity Donations
Donate to 501(c)(3) nonprofits onchain via Endaoment's smart contracts.
Quick Start
Find a Charity
Search by name or EIN:
./scripts/search.sh "27-1661997" # EIN lookup (GiveDirectly)
./scripts/search.sh "Red Cross" # Name search
Donate USDC (Base)
./scripts/donate.sh <ein> <amount_usdc>
Example: Donate $5 USDC to GiveDirectly:
./scripts/donate.sh 27-1661997 5
How It Works
The donate script uses Bankr's arbitrary transaction feature to:
- Approve USDC to the Endaoment OrgFundFactory
- Call
deployOrgAndDonate(orgId, amount)which:- Deploys the charity's entity contract on Base (if not already deployed)
- Donates the specified USDC amount
