Use Crypto to Build Housing

Turn crypto gains into real change! When you donate cryptocurrency to Habitat for Humanity, you can amplify the impact of your investment! Your crypto donation provides critical funding to support the construction of more affordable housing here in the Bay Area and around the world. 

When you donate appreciated cryptocurrency directly to a nonprofit like Habitat, you will not owe capital gains tax on the increase in value, and you can deduct the fair market value of your donation on your taxes.

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.

Will I get a tax receipt?

Upon making a donation, you can elect to receive an automatically generated tax receipt that will be sent to the email address you provide after a certain amount of confirmations of the transaction on the blockchain. This confirmation of your donation will help you close the loop when calculating your taxes.

Is my donation refundable?

All cryptocurrency donations made via The Giving Block are non refundable. We are not able to give refunds if you changed your mind or because the wrong cryptocurrency was sent.
