Why Donate Cryptocurrency?

Crypto donations are one of the most tax-efficient ways to support buildOn. Because of the way cryptocurrencies are classified by the IRS, donating crypto is considered a non-taxable event, meaning you don’t owe capital gains tax on the appreciated amount and you can deduct it from your taxes. Crypto donations to 501c3 charities – like buildOn – receive the same tax treatment as stocks. Click the button below to learn more and read FAQ.
