What happens to my cryptocurrency once it is donated?

Can I donate anonymously? Will I still get a tax receipt?
Yes, you have the option to include an email address with your anonymous donation to receive an automatic tax receipt.
Is my donation tax-deductible?
Cryptocurrency donations are classified by the IRS as property for tax purposes. You receive a tax deduction for the fair market value of the crypto, and you avoid the capital gains tax you would have incurred if you had sold the crypto and then made a donation. You may need to file an IRS Form 8283 with your federal income tax return. Please consult with your accountant or other financial advisor on this matter.
Can I set Fred Hutch as the beneficiary of my non-fungible tokens (NFTs)?
Yes, we welcome proceeds from NFT sales. You can donate ETH or one of the supported ERC-20 tokens through The Giving Block’s donation widget.
