Why Donate Crypto, Stock or Donor Advised Fund (DAF)?

In order to break down barriers and keep our programs free to students and families who need our programs most, CI is committed to diversifying its revenue stream so it is not financially dependent on any one donor or funding source. CI is new to stock and cryptocurrency philanthropy and we look forward to cultivating new donors and a new source of funding to help support our programs.

Is Donating Crypto or Stock Tax-Deductible?
Donating crypto and stock is a non-taxable event. Donors do not owe capital gains tax on the appreciated crypto and stock that is donated and can typically deduct the fair market value of the donation on their taxes. This often makes Bitcoin, Ethereum, other cryptocurrency, and stock donations one of the most tax efficient ways to support your favorite cause. Talk to a crypto-savvy tax professional or connect with The Giving Block to get connected with one.
