Why donate with crypto?

Your donation can help provide access to life-saving treatments and medical care, fund research that may lead to a cure, and offer comfort and support to those who need it most. Every donation counts and makes a difference.

When donating crypto, you receive a tax deduction for the fair market value of the crypto on the day of your donation. You avoid the capital gains tax you would have incurred if you had sold the crypto and then made a donation. This makes Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency donations one of the most tax-efficient ways to support philanthropy, enabling you to donate more as well as deduct more from your taxes. The difference can sometimes be more than 30%.

Overall, donating with cryptocurrency can be a convenient, transparent and cost-effective way to support the health and well-being of our communities.
