**Blockchain currency Giftcoin has partnered with charity payment provider Charity
Checkout to make the payment system available to its 2,000 charity clients.**

Chester Mojay-Sinclare, CEO of [Charity Checkout](https://www.charitycheckout.co.uk/),
is joining the Giftcoin team as an advisor. The partnership ensures that the cryptocurrency
has a significant route-to-market from its launch.

[Giftcoin’s token sale](https://www.giftcoin.org/#token-event) opens to the public
on 20 March. Accepting payments via Bitcoin and Ethereum (with a minimum investment
of 0.25 ETH), the Giftcoin team are aiming to raise $10m in six months to build 
and deliver their full system. Advanced whitelisting is required for the public 
sale.
