Crypto Donation FAQs
It's tax deductible!
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.
Because donating cryptocurrency is a non-taxable event, meaning you don’t owe capital gains tax on the appreciated amount and can deduct it on your taxes. This makes crypto that is donated and can typically deduct the fair market value of the donation on their taxes. This often makes Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrency donations one of the most tax efficient ways to support HopeWest.
