Why Donate in Crypto?
Reduced capital gains taxes — 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.
Enhanced security — cryptocurrencies use cryptography and blockchain technologies to encrypt, secure, and verify transactions and proof of ownership.
Protected privacy — cryptocurrencies systems are not tied to a central authority, thereby better protecting user privacy and allowing a degree of anonymity.
Increased efficiency — unlike traditional transaction methods, which can take days to process, the donation of cryptocurrency can process in only minutes.
Please note that all cryptocurrency donations are non-refundable. It’s recommended to seek advice from your CPA regarding the characterization and tax treatment of any gains or losses before donating virtual currency.

How Does It Work?
You can choose to donate in any of the majorly traded cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, ChainLink, Litecoin, and more.
The amount you donate is converted into U.S. Dollars. The value of cryptocurrency is based on supply and demand, so its rate of exchange can fluctuate over time. The net conversion value is then transferred to your donor-advised fund’s investment account.
