About Your Educators
Anna Chekhovich
Nonprofit Bitcoin Adoption Lead, Human Rights Foundation
Anna Chekovich understands firsthand how Bitcoin can be a lifeline for nonprofits under repression. As the financial manager at Alexei Navalny’s Anti-Corruption Foundation (ACF), she helped keep operations running despite Vladimir Putin’s financial crackdown. She used Bitcoin to pay staff, receive donations, and bypass the regime’s surveillance. Since 2016, ACF has relied on Bitcoin to stay financially independent and operational. Now, as HRF’s Nonprofit Bitcoin Adoption Lead, Anna is equipping nonprofits worldwide with the same tools to resist financial censorship and sustain their missions.
