As the world’s most powerful economy and the widely regarded leader of the free world celebrates its 250th Independence Day, various initiatives are emerging to contribute in some way, including one from Ripple.

The company behind the popular XRP altcoin announced that it has joined a nonprofit helping unemployed veterans to get high-quality jobs after their military service.

The organization, called Call of Duty Endowment, said it has already funded over 165,000 veterans, but explained that there’s still a high unemployment rate among the younger generation, which means that there’s “still more work to do.”

It wants to find jobs for 200,000 veterans by 2030, and Ripple has joined the special initiative for the 250th birthday of the US, called Giving4th.

The idea is to make Independence Day a national day of charitable giving. The company said it will match donations made to the Call of Duty Endowment of up to $10,000.

People who want to participate can use cash, stock, or cryptocurrencies, including Ripple’s two native tokens, XRP and RLUSD.

The Fourth of July is known as the United States’ Independence Day and serves as a federal holiday that commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.
