Ripple’s increasing influence in blockchain-based philanthropy highlights a growing movement toward digital financial systems that streamline global aid. On Oct. 30, Ripple announced that leading humanitarian organizations — including World Central Kitchen, Water.org, Givedirectly, and Mercy Corps — are piloting Ripple Payments and Ripple USD (RLUSD) to improve the speed, efficiency, and transparency of global relief distribution.
The initiative reflects a broader shift toward using blockchain to strengthen financial access in regions with limited infrastructure and to enhance the accountability of cross-border transactions.
Monica Long, president of Ripple, emphasized the impact of combining blockchain with purpose-driven innovation:
Pairing the platform with Ripple’s U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin, RLUSD, provides an efficient way to deliver aid and enable new models for financial inclusion and disaster relief.
Among the early adopters, World Central Kitchen is already integrating Ripple’s solutions to expedite support for communities affected by crises. “Building on this partnership, WCK is now leveraging Ripple Payments and RLUSD to accelerate the disbursement of funds to local restaurants and partners in regions without established banking infrastructure—enabling faster, more transparent delivery of critical support,” Ripple noted. These efforts showcase how blockchain-enabled systems can shorten payment timelines and increase the impact of emergency aid.
Ripple’s collaboration with nonprofits extends beyond aid delivery to financial innovation. According to the crypto firm: “Ripple is also collaborating with nonprofit partners on pilot programs testing RLUSD in applications such as parametric insurance for unbanked populations and anticipatory cash transfers. This includes multiple pilots with Mercy Corps Ventures currently underway in Kenya, and similar pilots being scoped with Givedirectly.”
The company noted its stablecoin’s rapid growth:
RLUSD surpassing a $900 million market cap in less than a year since launch, Ripple is proving that enterprise-grade stablecoins can scale rapidly and responsibly. This is a core part of Ripple’s mission to build a more inclusive global economy.
Collectively, these partnerships underscore how stablecoins could transform humanitarian finance by offering faster, lower-cost, and more equitable mechanisms for delivering aid worldwide.
