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 if you pay taxes in the U.S. By making a charitable gift, you may also be eligible to significantly reduce what you would otherwise owe in capital gains taxes.

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

Why does Siskin Children's Institute accept cryptocurrency?

Crypto Philanthropy is a new and thrilling fundraising avenue for nonprofit organizations like Siskin Children’s Institute. 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.

What is the tax benefit of donating appreciated stock?

Donating stock can be the most efficient way to make charitable contributions by saving on potential capital gains taxes which may allow donors to give more to the causes they care about, like Siskin Children’s Institute. To understand the full tax benefits of giving appreciated stock, please consult with a tax professional for information about your personal tax situation.

Does Siskin Children's Institute (The Giving Block) support gifts from my brokerage account?

The Giving Block supports several brokerage firms via their self-guided platform. If we don’t support your brokerage firm yet, you can still submit your gift through The Giving Block. Just select “other” from the broker list and we will send you a Letter of Instruction you can send to your broker firm to initiate the contribution.

Please note we can process gifts from most brokerage firms that can process a partial stock DTC transfer and most brokerage firms will provide that option for their clients. For any brokerage firms that do not support stock transfer, such as Robinhood, are not supported for this reason.
