FAQs
Are there tax benefits for donating cryptocurrency?
Yes, there are several benefits. Crypto donations are treated as non-cash gifts, similar to stock gifts. This means donors avoid the taxes of a liquidation event (for example, selling an asset for cash to donate), and nonprofits can accept the donation in its non-cash form. The gift is then auto-converted to cash without any tax implications, which means donors can give more and nonprofits receive more.
Why does Classy Pay accept cryptocurrency donations?
Offering the payment options donors prefer drives conversion and revenue for your nonprofit. Crypto specifically opens the door to a new donor demographic that skews younger and more diverse than the traditional philanthropic community. Offering a crypto donation option gives you the opportunity to capture this new audience.
