In the world of philanthropy, names carry weight, history, and intention. So when a platform as renowned as Angel Giving decides to adopt a new name, it’s an event worthy of celebration and reflection. We are excited to announce that Angel Giving is evolving into “Better Giving”. This new name is not just a rebrand, […]
Why You Should Donate to Long Tail Charities Charities are not all equal. Some are big and well-known, with large donor bases and marketing budgets. Others are small and obscure, with limited resources and visibility. These are the long tail charities, and they deserve your attention and support. What are long tail charities? The term […]
Charles Handy, the renowned management philosopher and well-known for the ‘Sigmoid Curve’ principle, once said, “The key to future success is to have the foresight and discipline to see the opportunities in what you are doing in the present cycle and then to make your moves while things are going well. If you act too […]
The Angel Giving 10-point plan: We believe that donors want to see just what is done with their hard-earned donation. For crypto donors, they definitely want more to be done with their crypto donation than just have it exchanged into fiat currency such as dollars or pounds. After all, they often believe cryptocurrencies and blockchain […]
In times of hardship and disaster, the power of human connection and compassion shines brightest.

We caught up with Eric Selemani, Founder at GSL, to discuss how cryptocurrency can play a part in aiding the charity with the help of Angel Protocol. What’s your role, and how did you/the charity get involved with ‘crypto’ giving? As the founder and Executive director of GSL, my role is to ensure the organization […]
What’s your role, and how did you/the charity get involved with ‘crypto’ giving?
As the founder and Executive director of GSL, my role is to ensure the organization strives in its mission to empower the youth. I keep my eyes open to identify potential opportunities of funding. I wasn’t very informed about cryptocurrency until a friend shared with me a link with information about Angel Protocol and the possibility of receiving donations in crypto. As I explored the limited information available, I thought to myself that this is the future of donations and I don’t want to be left out. Since that day I started learning about crypto currency.
Had you ever used endowments before or ever thought of using them?
The Endowment model is not common in Africa. I have not yet been exposed to this model of financing.
How has Angel Protocol experience been so far? What have you been able to do?
I am still in the phase of learning and discovery, but so far, so good. I love the experience and the support. The team is really supportive and available whenever/wherever there is a need.
How do you think Angel Protocol will be able to benefit your charity in the future?
Angel Protocol Marketplace is a powerful tool for exposure that will give Global Synergy for Leadership the opportunity to reach new audience (1), to access new donors (2), and more importantly, to have a source of funds for as long as the organization will exist (the Endowment) (3).
Advice for others
I have not waited long before starting to share with other organizations in the French speaking countries in Africa about the opportunity that comes with being featured on Angel Protocol’s Marketplace. My key message for them is: “This is the future of Fundraising and Donations, be part of it now!”
Do you have any immediate needs? Or immediate plans for using the funding?
For the moment we do not want to use donations. We want to let our endowment grow so that the returns will allow us to have consistent withdrawals each year.
How do people find out more? About what you do? do you have any social media links?
We have a page on Facebook and another on LinkedIn
Many thanks Eric, we look forward to hear more in due course.
