Donate CryptoWhy Donate Crypto
Cryptocurrency donations are one of the most tax-efficient ways to give to charity, being tax-deductible to the fullest extent permitted by U.S. law.
By making a charitable gift, you may also be eligible to significantly reduce what you would otherwise owe in capital gains taxes. This is because when you donate crypto to charity, it becomes a non-taxable event, meaning you do not owe capital gains tax on the appreciated amount and can deduct the donation on your taxes.
This makes Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrency donations highly tax-efficient and effective ways to support AIF, allowing you to maximize the value of your donation while minimizing your additional tax responsibilities.

FAQs
- Can cryptocurrency be donated to charity?
Yes! For US taxpayers, cryptocurrency donations are classified as property, as per the IRS. This means that when you donate crypto to charity, you receive a tax deduction for the fair market value of the crypto at the time of the donation. Additionally, you avoid the capital gains tax you would have incurred if you had sold the crypto and then made a donation. This means you can donate more to the charity and deduct more from your taxes.

- Is my cryptocurrency charitable donation tax deductible?
Yes, your cryptocurrency donations are tax deductible.
Supporters who want to donate crypto are supporting our work in a tax-efficient way. The IRS currently classifies cryptocurrency donations as property for tax purposes, meaning that when you donate bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to a 501(c)(3) nonprofit like AIF, you do not have to pay capital gains tax and your gift is tax-deductible to the fullest extent permitted by US law.- Can I donate crypto and remain anonymous?
Yes! You can make crypto donations anonymously. Simply check the box within the donation widget. You also have the option to receive a donation receipt, via The Giving Block directly, meaning that you can still claim crypto donations on your return while having retained your anonymity with AIF.
- Can I get a refund on my Crypto donation?
All cryptocurrency donations are nonrefundable. We are not able to give refunds if you change your mind, send the wrong cryptocurrency, or make the wrong decision.
Since your crypto donations are often immediately converted into fiat--and are understood to have been made to support our programs--please know that we do not offer refunds on any donations made in cryptocurrency.
AIF does not, has not, and will never offer any form of cryptocurrency airdrop, goods, or services in return for a donation.
