Glo Dollar is a fiat-backed stablecoin that funds public goods.

With Glo Dollar, you can help fund public goods and charitable causes just by holding a stablecoin. It's a new, donationless form of philanthropy.

Glo Dollar allows you, the holder, to choose which causes to support. That includes poverty alleviation, decarbonization programs, and Web3 open source initiatives. At zero cost to you. We’ll refer to this as AutoPGF (Automatic Public Goods Funding).

‍That's right—you're funding public goods without having to give away money.
