Tax Benefits

The IRS classifies cryptocurrencies as property, so cryptocurrency donations to 501(c)3 charities receive the same tax treatment as stocks. 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. Please contact your tax or financial advisor for more information specific to your financial situation.

Please note that The Giving Block immediately converts cryptocurrency donations into US dollars upon receiving a donation to the CCR. The CCR does not hold or invest in cryptocurrencies.
