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.

Does Siskin Children's Institute (The Giving Block) support gifts from my brokerage account?

The Giving Block supports several brokerage firms via their self-guided platform. If we don’t support your brokerage firm yet, you can still submit your gift through The Giving Block. Just select “other” from the broker list and we will send you a Letter of Instruction you can send to your broker firm to initiate the contribution.

Please note we can process gifts from most brokerage firms that can process a partial stock DTC transfer and most brokerage firms will provide that option for their clients. For any brokerage firms that do not support stock transfer, such as Robinhood, are not supported for this reason.
