Dublin, Ireland – April 10, 2025 — AB Charity Foundation has officially launched its global operations and launched a new, upgraded website at www.ab.org, marking a major step forward in shaping a new generation of philanthropy where blockchain technology meets public good.
Headquartered in Ireland and legally recognized under the European Union, AB Charity Foundation is a global non-profit organization that aims to redefine public trust, promote sustainable development and build bridges between government, civil society and modern technology.
Leaded by Europe’s leading heads of state
AB Charity Foundation boasts a senior board of former European heads of state, headed by Bertie Ahern, former three-term Prime Minister of Ireland and a key figure in the historic Good Friday Agreement. Other members include:
Lawrence Gonzi, former Prime Minister of Malta
Péter Medgyessy, former Prime Minister of Hungary
Danilo Türk, former President of Slovenia
Petar Stoyanov, former President of Bulgaria
In addition, the Foundation is expanding its global advisory board, bringing together thought leaders, scientists, diplomats and influential figures from across five continents to foster strategic collaboration and support the implementation of far-reaching social initiatives.
Blockchain: The Core to Charitable Transparency and Effectiveness
At the heart of AB Charity Foundation’s operating model is its tight integration with blockchain technology – powered by AB DAO, the decentralized platform that provides the Foundation’s technical infrastructure.
Using automated smart contracts, 15% to 30% of gas fees from transactions on AB’s public chain are transferred directly to a dedicated charity fund. At the same time, 15% to 30% of the profits from AB Ecosystem Fund investments will also be reinvested in community initiatives.
This financial mechanism ensures:
Transparent on-chain fundraising
Automated, verifiable distribution
Compliance with third-party monitoring
Maximizing financial sustainability for social programs
For a global collaborative future
AB Charity Foundation is committed to supporting key areas such as:
Education
Healthcare
Environmental protection
Humanitarian aid
All of the Foundation’s activities are guided by the goal of building a verifiable global goodwill model, where every donation is transparent, every distribution is traceable, and every commitment is backed up by concrete actions.
“We don’t believe that technology alone will change the world,” the founders shared. “What really makes the difference is global consensus around trusted institutions and a spirit of international cooperation.”
