Yes we certainly do accept Crypto / Digital Currency.
We accept:
Bitcoin (BTC)
Ethereum (ETH)
USD Coin (USDC)
However, digital currency isn’t actually currency according to the IRS, it’s property, or in-kind-gift and is basically the same as if you donated new or used clothing.
We like the fact digital currency can grow in value when managed properly, helping to grow the Charity funding abilities.
We have a special page and form to accept crypto, so the funds are accounted for and used according to the wishes of the donor.
A receipt is sent once received and verified. Just like with any property we cannot state the value of the crypto. We can only list the date received, what is was, the quality of the gift and naturally a “Thank You”.
** It’s up to you as the donor to substantiate the valuation on your tax return should you choose to claim a tax deduction on the gift.
