The partnership creates new grant-funded channel for hunger relief as WYDE’s contributory consumption model crosses 20,000 meals funded.
PRESS RELEASE, LOS ANGELES, Calif. (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)
WYDE Association announced an exclusive national hunger-relief partnership with Feed the Children (feedthechildren.org), a global movement working to end childhood hunger, marking the distribution of WYDE’s first charitable grant with the organization. The announcement follows a milestone for WYDE’s Impact Exchange, which has crossed 20,000 meals funded based on its own impact calculations.
Feed the Children reached 14.9 million people in FY2025 and distributed $364.7 million in food and essentials worldwide. The organization operates across the United States and in eight countries internationally. The WYDE partnership adds a new grant-funded revenue stream to Feed the Children’s existing network of corporate, foundation, and individual supporters.
“When innovation and purpose come together, it opens new pathways to reach families experiencing hunger and hardship.” said Emily Callahan, president and CEO of Feed the Children. “We’re encouraged by efforts like this that help expand awareness and support for the urgent work of ending childhood hunger so children everywhere can have the food, essentials and opportunities they need to grow and thrive.”
WYDE Association, a Wyoming 501(c)(4) nonprofit, administers a grant program funded through trading fees generated on the WYDE Impact Exchange (wyde.org). Feed the Children is the exclusive national grant recipient for hunger relief. All fee allocations and grant distributions are recorded on the Base blockchain and publicly verifiable.
The 20,000-meal milestone reflects WYDE Association’s own impact calculation based on fees generated through its $EAT cause coin. WYDE describes this model as contributory consumption: everyday financial behavior is structured to generate charitable impact by design, not by donation. The upcoming $EAT Card (eat.ong) is described by WYDE as a debit card that uses interchange fees to support meal funding, and is intended to extend contributory consumption into everyday spending. Feed the Children’s involvement is limited to its role as a charitable grant recipient through WYDE Association. WYDE confirmed that delivery outcomes from grant partners will be published in WYDE’s quarterly impact reports.
