Donate Cryptocurrency to Citizens’ Climate Education

Support Citizens’ Climate Education with cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin, Ether, Litecoin, and more. Your donation helps us train and mobilize hundreds of thousands of citizens to build support for effective climate policies.

Donating cryptocurrency can also provide greater tax incentives than cash donations. Since the IRS classifies cryptocurrency as property, donations receive the same tax benefits as stock or real estate gifts. When you donate cryptocurrency directly to a 501(c)(3) charitable organization like Citizens’ Climate Education, your donation is 100% tax-deductible, and you do not have to pay capital gains tax. This can often result in a 20-30%+ larger donation and deduction compared with selling the asset and donating the cash proceeds. In short, donating cryptocurrency is a tax-savvy way to maximize your impact while supporting climate solutions.

We accept the following cryptocurrencies:

  • Bitcoin (BTC)
  • Ether (ETH)
  • Litecoin (LTC)
  • Bitcoin Cash (BCH)
  • Dogecoin (DOGE)
  • Filecoin (FIL)
  • Zcash (ZEC)
  • Gemini Dollar (GUSD)
  • Basic Attention Token (BAT)
  • Chainlink (LINK)
  • 0x (ZRX)
  • Storj (STORJ)
  • Dai (DAI)
  • Amp (AMP)
  • The Graph (GRT)
  • UMA (UMA)
  • 1inch (1INCH)
  • Aave (AAVE)
  • Compound (COMP)

The carbon cost of cryptocurrency
Like other currencies and technologies that strengthen our communities, cryptocurrency and blockchain have an undeniable carbon footprint. Citizens’ Climate considers this a reminder of the importance of our efforts in accelerating the transition to a global clean energy economy.
