Donate CryptoCurrency

Donating crypto directly saves you money on two types of taxes:

1. Avoid paying any capital gains tax (and state income taxes) on your crypto gains.

2. Second, receive a full federal income tax deduction for the value of your crypto.

The alternative is to convert your crypto to dollars and make a cash donation, but you would first pay capital gains taxes on the appreciated value, resulting in higher taxes for you and less dollars going to further our mission to protect and share LGBTQ history.

The value of your donation will be indicated in the tax receipt, and will correspond to the exchange rate at the moment we converted your gift to US dollars (usually within 10 minutes after receiving your gift).

Absolutely. You just need to do them one at a time.

We recommend following the market to ensure that you can give the best gift based on the assets you hold. However, for your gift to be eligible for the current tax year, please transfer your coin by December 31.
