How can I donate cryptocurrency to C3F?

Donating crypto is safe, easy, and fast. Using the donation form on this page, making a charitable gift is a quick three-step process:

1. Select your preferred crypto and enter your gift amount
2. Type in your email and basic info (or choose to give anonymously)
3. Make your gift! 

Upon making a donation, you can elect to receive an automatically generated tax receipt that will be sent to the email address you provide after a certain amount of confirmations of the transaction on the blockchain. This confirmation of your donation will help you close the loop when calculating your taxes.

Crypto charitable donations are processed quickly and safely with The Giving Block and Gemini Trust Exchange. 

Why does C3F accept cryptocurrency?

Crypto Philanthropy is a new and thrilling fundraising avenue for nonprofit organizations like C3F. With more than 300 million crypto users worldwide and the value of many cryptocurrencies rising, the crypto community is in a position to make a wide-reaching impact through philanthropy. Donating crypto is also one of the most tax-efficient ways for individuals to support causes that matter to them. We are excited about what the future holds in the crypto and blockchain space, and believe that we've just scratched the surface of its true fundraising potential.

Are crypto donations tax-deductible?

Yes! Crypto donations are one of the most tax-efficient ways to give to charity. Your crypto donation is tax-deductible to the fullest extent permitted by law. By making a charitable gift, you may also be eligible to significantly reduce what you would otherwise owe in capital gains taxes. 

For donations exceeding $5,000, a qualified appraisal is required to determine the fair market value, ensuring compliance with IRS regulations. For help getting an appraisal please reach out to Matt Greer at mgreer@c3f.org or 231-536-2440. 

As with any tax-related questions, be sure to consult with a qualified, professional tax advisor. Get more information about lowering your crypto taxes.
