Donate Cryptocurrency
Donate Crypto Today
Making a cryptocurrency donation is a simple and tax-efficient way to help SELF bring solar solutions to those living in energy poverty. Here’s why people like you are taking advantage of this new donation method:
Tax Efficiency
The IRS considers your cryptocurrency donation a non-taxable event, meaning you will not owe capital gains tax on the appreciated amount and can deduct it on your taxes. This is why cryptocurrency donations are one of the most tax-efficient ways to help SELF fight energy poverty and why financial advisors recommend donating your most highly appreciated assets first.

Anonymity
We know how important anonymity can be within the cryptocurrency community, so you can choose to make your secure donations entirely anonymous when going through the Giving Block. You may choose to include contact information if you would like to receive email updates about the impact of your gift, but this is entirely up to you.
Simplicity
By donating crypto through the Giving Block, you will automatically be provided with a tax receipt via email.
We accept the following cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Amp (AMP), Basic Attention Token (BAT), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), ChainLink (LINK), Dai (DAI), Gemini Dollar (GUSD), Storj (STORJ), Zcash (ZEC), 0x (ZRX), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Litecoin (LTC).
