The IRS classifies cryptocurrency donations as property, meaning they are not subject to capital gains tax and are tax deductible. Your contribution is tax-deductible to the fullest extent permitted by law. This means that when you donate Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to a 501(c)(3) nonprofit like Center for Changing Lives, you receive a tax deduction for the value of the crypto, and avoid the capital gains tax you would have paid if you sold the crypto before donating.
