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

To donate USDT to charity, send Tether as ERC-20 on Ethereum mainnet via World Aid Network’s Donate USDT page. Do not send Tron or BNB Chain USDT. You need ETH for gas. This publication does not publish wallets. Gift Aid is not claimable.

Open World Aid Network to [donate USDT to charity](https://worldaidnetwork.org/donate-usdt). Copy the published 0x address. Send USDT as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum mainnet.
You will pay ETH gas to move ERC-20 USDT. That is expected. If your exchange only offers “USDT-TRC20”, that is a different network — do not send it.
Aave aUSDT and other wrapped or receipt tokens are not Tether. Withdraw to native USDT on Ethereum first.

## Which USDT network is accepted?

Ethereum mainnet ERC-20 only. Not Tron (TRC-20), BNB Smart Chain, Solana, Arbitrum, Polygon or Omni.

If your wallet label says TRC20, BSC or Solana, stop. Those transfers will not credit the Ethereum USDT wallet.
Native ETH is a different gift: [donate ethereum to charity](https://worldaidnetwork.org/donate-ethereum). Do not send ETH to the USDT wallet.
Need Bitcoin instead? [donate bitcoin to charity](https://worldaidnetwork.org/donate-bitcoin).
WAN converts USDT to sterling on receipt.

## Which wallet can send USDT?

An Ethereum mainnet wallet that holds USDT (ERC-20) and enough ETH for gas. TronLink is the wrong stack for this gift.

On a CEX, pick the ERC-20 / Ethereum network for the withdrawal — never TRC-20 because the fee looks lower.

## What does converted USDT fund?

World Aid Network’s Emergency Disaster Fund — food, water, hygiene kits and shelter. A stablecoin gift still converts; it is not held as USDT.

The gift is the sterling amount after conversion, not a later Tether market move.

## Does Gift Aid apply to a USDT donation?

No. Gift Aid is for gifts of money, not Tether. Registration application 5290505 is still in progress. Seek independent tax advice.

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