Donating Cryptocurrency to Nonprofits Just Got Easier Thanks to New Offerings from Classy

Posted 20 Nov-2021 06:30 PM by lily | 531

 Classy, a giving platform that enables nonprofits to connect supporters with the causes they care about, has partnered with Coinbase Commerce and The San Diego Foundation to launch three Crypto Giving Funds, making it easier for cryptocurrency holders to donate to nonprofits. Donors who wish to make tax-deductible crypto donations can choose from funds that benefit a variety of nonprofits in the food relief, health, and community support sectors.

The cryptocurrency market is now worth over $3 trillion, yet it's estimated that only a few hundred nonprofits are accepting crypto as a donation method. As Classy works to expand the ways nonprofits can tap into new technologies to improve their funding, its Crypto Giving Funds will serve as a way to give nonprofits an easy entry point into the crypto market before Classy launches its own in-house offering next year.

"Nonprofits need to build relationships within the crypto community, which is full of young philanthropists looking for ways to make a difference," says Chris Himes, Classy's CEO. "Crypto is the first form of money that's ever existed entirely online, and it needs to play a more prominent role in funding social and environmental progress. The tax advantages of donating an appreciated asset can be tremendous, so connecting the crypto community with the social sector is a high priority for Classy."

Donors can choose to give to a fund managed by The San Diego Foundation that benefits a variety of impactful organizations in three categories:

Food Relief: Benefits World Central Kitchen, Feeding San Diego, Greater Boston Food Bank, Greater Chicago Food Depository, and Oregon Food Bank.
Hospitals and Health: Benefits CDC Foundation, City of Hope, Cleveland Clinic, HFC, and Shriners Hospitals for Children.
Community Support: Benefits Pencils of Promise, Team Rubicon, The Salvation Army, and Museum of Science.
