Turn community energy into impact
For the first time, AKC Humane Fund can now accept Dogecoin and other cryptocurrencies directly through MoonPay Commerce, opening a new payment rail for donations that connects digital asset holders with traditional philanthropic infrastructure.
Marco Margiotta, CEO of House of Doge, said: “This campaign fulfills the purpose of Dogecoin.” “We turn the energy of our community into real-world impact for dogs in need.”
MoonPay, which is ramping up its donation infrastructure, says the initiative reflects a broader evolution in how cryptocurrencies can be used beyond markets and speculation.
“Dogs have always brought out the best in us, and now the Doge community is helping bring that same energy to cryptocurrency donations,” said MoonPay President Keith A. Grossman.
AKC Humane Fund is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization affiliated with the American Kennel Club that focuses on strengthening the bond between dogs and their owners through targeted grants and assistance programs. Our work ranges from partnering with shelters for victims of domestic violence to rescue operations and supporting veterinary care for families facing financial hardship.

Dogecoin’s involvement leans into the long-standing “Do Only Good Everyday” ethos that has evolved from internet culture to regular real-world philanthropy.
“Dogecoin has always been about community and doing good,” said Tim Stebbing of the Dogecoin Foundation. “This is a natural extension of that mission.”
With cryptocurrency donations now available through MoonPay Commerce, supporters can now donate in the following ways: $Doge Alternatively, you can purchase other supported digital assets directly through AKC Humane Fund’s donation portal alongside traditional payment methods.
