FundGazaFrom the heart to Gaza
Step by step

How your gift reaches Gaza

This page follows a gift from your wallet to a family in Gaza: every step, what each one costs, and what you can check for yourself.

No spending has been recorded yet. Every purchase will appear in the spending ledger in the transparency log.

  1. You send USDT on the TRON network (TRC20)

    From your own wallet or from an exchange, to our address. From your own wallet, the network fee is about $2–4.50 in TRX, whatever the amount (October 2026); from an exchange, you pay its withdrawal fee instead (around 1.5 USDT on Binance).

    Your transfer is public: paste its transaction ID (TXID) into Tronscan and watch it arrive within minutes.

  2. It reaches our wallet within minutes

    The wallet's entire history is public on Tronscan.

  3. It becomes money that works inside Gaza

    Cash is scarce in Gaza, and many shops now take payment through the Bank of Palestine app or the Jawwal Pay wallet. The organizer turns the USDT into money that suppliers inside Gaza accept. Every conversion has a cost, recorded as its own line in our spending ledger.

    For context: in October 2026, Mondoweiss reported that the commission for swapping worn banknotes for electronic balance had risen to about 10%, that dealers turning electronic transfers into cash can take up to half, and that the Jawwal Pay wallet and the Bank of Palestine app have become widely used for buying and selling.

  4. We buy from suppliers inside Gaza

    Water, food or whatever the campaign covers is bought from suppliers inside Gaza. Each purchase goes into the spending ledger with its date, quantity and amount, plus a photo of the receipt where there is one.

  5. Distribution and documentation

    Each distribution is published in the transparency log with photos, and with receipts where there are any. Photos in the log never show an identifiable person without their consent.

What the journey costs

TRON network fee
from your own wallet: about $2–4.50 in TRX per transfer, whatever the amount (October 2026); from an exchange: included in its withdrawal fee
Your exchange's withdrawal fee
depends on the exchange (around 1.5 USDT on Binance)
FundGaza's share
nothing — we take no cut
Moving the USDT out of our wallet
about $2–4.50 in TRX per transfer, recorded in the spending ledger
Turning USDT into money that works in Gaza
varies, and is recorded line by line in the spending ledger

These fees are flat, so they weigh most on small gifts: on $10, the network fee from your own wallet comes to 20–45%, and a 1.5 USDT exchange withdrawal fee to 15%. Sending several gifts in one transfer saves on fees.

What you can check for yourself

Good to know

  • FundGaza is a personal initiative, not a registered charity, so gifts are not tax-deductible.
  • Prices, crossings and access in Gaza change quickly, so buying and delivering can take longer than planned.
