Cryptocurrency to Help Chimps
Now it’s even easier to donate to Project Chimps. Donating cryptocurrency is a non-taxable event, meaning you do not owe capital gains tax on the appreciated amount and can deduct it on your taxes. This makes Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency donations one of the most tax-efficient ways to support your favorite cause. You can donate Bitcoin, Ethereum, ChainLink, Litecoin, and more.
When you donate crypto to Project Chimps, we immediately transfer your coins to USD; which immediately begins to benefit the chimps.
Why donate in crypto?
Cryptocurrency donations are unique in terms of US tax classification. A cryptocurrency donation is classified as property by the IRS, which means it is not subject to capital gains tax. This helps donors minimize their tax obligations while also supporting causes that are important to them. Project Chimps is a 501(c) 3 entity, registered in the USA and all donations are tax deductible as is permitted by law.
