<p>Pineapple Fund was an experiment in philanthropy with cryptocurrency wealth. What happens when your 'play-money' becomes a treasure chest, and you're past the satiety point of money?</p>
<p>I decided to donate the majority of my cryptocurrency to charities around the world, with an open application process and funding charities big and small. I focused on causes I believe in, or causes I know will work from my experiences.</p>
<p>Timed with the 2017 crypto bubble, 5104 BTC was turned into $55 million for charities. I'm happy and proud of the impact that will come, mostly thanks to the amazing charities and the dedicated people behind them.</p>
<p>I'm going to remain anonymous, because the point of the Pineapple Fund is not me. I consider this project a success. If you're ever blessed with crypto fortune, consider supporting what you aspire our world to be :)</p>
<p>♥, Pine</p>

GAVRILOVKS COMMUNITY FUND
Rural public organization

                                            Dear People!

The rural public organization "Gavrilvks Community Fund" (hereinafter - the Fund or the Organization) is incorporated in 2008 as a legal entity with the status of a non-profit organization. The organization is created for the harmonious development of our community, carries out its statutory activities at the expense of charitable contributions.

 Fund participated in the EU project on the use of energy saving technologies for the walls insulation of the kindergarten and the street lighting  of Gavrylivka and Pidgavirilovka villagers , Pokrov district of the Dnipropetrovsk region. Participated in the "Bibliomist" project to provide Internet cervices to the library.

Gavrilivka’s secondary school I-III degrees purchased and installed simulators for the gym at the amount of UAH 26,000 by using the expense of the Fund and assistance was provided to the rural health outpatient clinic for major repairs.
Books been purchased for the library. For the house of culture, suits are bought. For the Velykomychaylivska psychoneurological hospital were purchased 4 refrigerators, 60 sets of bed linen and kitchen utensils for the total amount of 23,000 UAH and handed over.
Today we have many requests from social organizations to help them. But, since the fund does not have its own financial revenues and resources, and works at the expense of charitable contributions, we will not be able to satisfy all requests.
Therefore, the board of the Gavrylivsk Community Fund decided to take 110 hectares of land to the village council and create an agricultural enterprise for the cultivation of grain and technical crops. At the expense of dividends from the company's activities, the Fund will be able to finance its statutory activities aimed at developing and improving the territorial community, implementing social sector projects, and helping large families, people with disabilities after the war, and low-income villagers.
However, to grow a crop of crops required agricultural machinery, inventory, seed, fuel, labor costs at the initial stage of the enterprise, and also for the organic certification of land.
Taking into account the above, the Board of the Gavrylivks Community Fund appeals to you about the financial assistance possible, we all need UAH 6,000,000 to start an agricultural enterprise by the Fund and to obtain passive income for the statutory activities of our organization.
A full report on the use of funds will be provided unconditionally.
Charity help can be transferred to the following requisites: р / р 26006500047509, , CREDIT AGRICOL BANK смт. Pokrovskoe, MFO 300614, the code of the USREOU 35914427, recipient: NGO "Gavrylivsky community fund".

Even the great delicacy of your reply I thank you in my own name. Sometimes a person needs hope, and the money I want as a debt to hold on to life will bind me back to life ...Who knows, maybe there's hope.
