Lewis,
We recently received emails from the EA Funds team confirming that they have received information regarding the donations and are currently reviewing our project. They mentioned that the donations are unusual and requested information about who we are, where we are based, and whether we are a registered fundraising organization.
If possible, please help communicate the following to the Animal Welfare Fund administration:
AWF ETH CTO is a global, decentralized Ethereum community composed of members, donors, supporters, and investors from many countries around the world. We do not have a centralized governing body; instead, we operate through trusted community contributors who voluntarily dedicate their time and effort to maintaining and growing the project.
What makes our donations unusual is that they are not traditional transfers from one wallet to another. The
#AWF token's smart contract on Ethereum automatically collects a 2% fee from transactions, and those funds are automatically directed toward animal welfare initiatives through the same donation address that has also been used by Vitalik Buterin for his contributions to the Animal Welfare Fund.
All donations are publicly verifiable on-chain and can be tracked through our donation tools:

We have also registered a transparent public campaign through Everyorg under the name AWF ETH CTO, where information about our community and mission is available.
Our hope is to establish a direct communication channel between the AWF ETH CTO community and EA Funds. Having a dedicated point of contact would help strengthen cooperation, improve transparency, and support the long-term sustainability of this donation mechanism.
We believe this project can serve as an example of how blockchain innovation can create perpetual charitable giving for important causes. None of this would be possible without Ethereum, the vision of Vitalik Buterin, and the example he has set through his support for animal welfare and effective philanthropy.
As community members, donors, and supporters, we invest our time, energy, and resources into this mission. We hope for the support of both EA Funds and Vitalik as we continue working toward a future where charitable giving can become sustainable, transparent, and effectively limitless.
Thank you for your time and support.
Long live the evolution of human consciousness, compassion, and empathy for all species.
AWF ETH CTO Community
