← Discoveries for ME

I’d like to be a discoverer

You’re going discovering.

Maybe someone you care about asked you, or maybe you offered. Either way, you’ve landed on a tiny mission together: a small piece of the world to bring back to someone you’re thinking of.

There are no kilometres to complete, targets to hit or special places you need to visit. Just keep the mission in mind as you go about your day.

When you find it, bring it back.

Three ways to take part

  1. Keep it private. Text it. Email it. Post it. Bring it over. Send a voice note. Tell them about it. Done.
  2. Share your discovery. Post your photo or video using #DiscoveriesForME and tag Open Medicine Foundation Australia (@openmedfaustralia). Only name the person or share their health story if they have explicitly agreed.
  3. Make your discoveries do more. If you want to, create a fundraising page and invite friends and family to support ME/CFS and Long COVID research while you share what you find.

However your discovery arrives, digital, posted or in person, is the recipient’s choice. A photo or a voice note is every bit as much a discovery as a visit.

Start a fundraising page

Fundraising is optional. Discoveries for ME is, first and foremost, about connection.

OMF Australia accepts donations of Cryptocurrencies

Make the most of your donation by donating your Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies directly to OMF Australia rather than selling and donating the after-tax proceeds.

  • Your tax deduction will be equal to the fair market value of the donated cryptocurrency (as determined by a qualified appraisal).
  • Donors should consult with a tax advisor for properly recording this donation on a personal tax return.


OMF Australia can accept cryptocurrency donations of any amount. 

Donating cryptocurrency is a non-taxable event, meaning you do not owe capital gains tax on the appreciated amount and can deduct it on your taxes. This makes Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency donations one of the most tax-efficient ways to support your favorite cause. If you want to learn more about how donating crypto can lower your taxes, check out thegivingblock.com/faq.

Talk to a crypto-savvy tax professional or connect with The Giving Block to get connected with one.

We accept the following cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Zcash (ZEC), Gemini Dollar (GUSD), Basic Attention Token (BAT), Chainlink (LINK), 0x (ZRX), Storj (STORJ), Dai (DAI), Amp (AMP), The Graph (GRT), UMA (UMA), 1inch (1INCH).
