AB Charity Foundation Launches Global Operations with Blockchain Backing

AB Charity Foundation has officially launched its global operations, unveiling a new website at www.ab.org. The Foundation, headquartered in Ireland and recognized under EU law, is a nonprofit entity dedicated to fostering public trust and sustainable development through the collaboration of governments, civil society, and the tech community.

The Foundation's governance is overseen by a distinguished board of directors, chaired by Bertie Ahern, the former three-term Prime Minister of Ireland and a key figure in the Good Friday Agreement. Other board members include Lawrence Gonzi (former Prime Minister of Malta), Péter Medgyessy (former Prime Minister of Hungary), Danilo Türk ( of Slovenia), and Petar Stoyanov ( of Bulgaria).

The Foundation is actively expanding its global advisory board, which includes s, scientists, diplomats, and cultural leaders from all five continents. This diverse group will guide strategic planning and promote international collaboration in delivering impactful social initiatives.

The Foundation's mission is centered on advancing global efforts in education, healthcare, environmental protection, and humanitarian aid. It aims to create a "verifiable model of cooperative goodwill" through transparent governance and next-generation technology. The Foundation emphasizes that the key to changing the world is not a specific technology, but the shared consensus around trustworthy institutions and global cooperation.

Technically supported by AB DAO, the Foundation's operations are underpinned by blockchain infrastructure. Through smart contract automation, 15% to 30% of the gas fees from every transaction on the AB public chain are directed into a dedicated charity pool. This mechanism supports a new operational model for charitable funding, combining on-chain fundraising, automated distribution, full-chain auditability, and third-party compliance assurance.

Additionally, 15% to 30% of the returns generated from investments by the AB Ecosystem Fund will also be directed into the Foundation’s pool. The fund has already supported dozens of projects, with more initiatives in the pipeline, strengthening the financial sustainability of the Foundation’s mission.

By leveraging blockchain’s inherent transparency, the Foundation aims to become a scalable model for next-generation philanthropic infrastructure. This ensures that every donation is traceable, every distribution verifiable, and every intention honored.
