NeighborImpact Is Now Accepting Cryptocurrency Donations

Central Oregon—NeighborImpact, a nonprofit supporting people and strengthening communities, is now accepting cryptocurrency donations via Every.org including Bitcoin, USD Coin, Ethereum and more.
Cryptocurrency has reached a market cap of $2 trillion in 2021. While the asset class remains volatile, it is the fastest growing asset of the decade. With the addition of the first Bitcoin ETF and integration of crypto into everyday payments platforms such as PayPal and Venmo, cryptocurrency is becoming more and more integrated into people’s lives.
Similar to donating equities or other appreciating assets, there can be significant tax advantages to donating cryptocurrency directly. Since the IRS classifies donated cryptocurrency as property, donating it is not a taxable event. This means donors do not have to recognize capital gains on donations of appreciated crypto. If they held it for over a year, they may even be able to deduct the fair market value on their taxes.
The crypto donations are supported through Every.org, which takes cryptocurrency and converts it into fiat currency, this comes at no additional cost to the donor. Donors can donate Bitcoin, Ethereum, USD Coin directly on Every.org. Please contact crypto@every.org if donating with a different coin and the donation is valued at $5,000 or more. Donors will also receive a tax-deductible receipt from Every.org once the transaction is detected on the blockchain.
Tina Roh, co-founder of Every.org added, “This is a unique time where crypto is highly appreciated and donating it is uniquely tax-advantaged. And it’s easier than ever before through Every.org. Donors should speak to their tax advisor on the benefits to make sure they can maximize their giving.”
