## How do I send BNB to a charity wallet?

To donate BNB to charity, copy the verified wallet on World Aid Network’s Donate BNB page. Send native BNB on BNB Smart Chain only. An 0x address on Ethereum mainnet is the wrong network. Gift Aid is not claimable on crypto.

Native BNB on BNB Smart Chain only. Not BEP-20 tokens and not Ethereum mainnet.

Set your wallet to BNB Smart Chain (BSC) before you sign. WAN converts BNB to sterling on receipt.
Ethereum mainnet ETH is [donate ethereum to charity](https://worldaidnetwork.org/donate-ethereum), not this page.
Bitcoin is [donate bitcoin to charity](https://worldaidnetwork.org/donate-bitcoin).

## Which wallet can send BNB?

MetaMask or Rabby with BNB Smart Chain added and selected, Trust Wallet, or a CEX BNB Smart Chain withdrawal. Confirm the network name, not just the 0x format.

On Binance, withdraw BNB on BNB Smart Chain — not the Beacon Chain, and not as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum.

## What does converted BNB fund?

World Aid Network’s Emergency Disaster Fund — food, water, hygiene kits and shelter.

The gift is the converted sterling amount, not a later BNB price.

## Does Gift Aid apply to a BNB donation?

No. Gift Aid is for gifts of money. Application 5290505 is still in progress. Seek independent tax advice.

Do not add 25% to a BNB amount in your own accounts.
