Donating Cryptocurrency

Looking to donate cryptocurrency but not sure where to begin?

Donating cryptocurrency is beneficial to you and to the children and animals of Green Chimneys!

Your cryptocurrency donation is 100% tax-deductible. It is also the most tax-efficient way to support Green Chimneys. The IRS classifies cryptocurrency donations as property, meaning they are not subject to a capital gains tax and are tax-deductible.

By donating cryptocurrency assets without first converting to cash, you bypass the capital gains tax. This means you receive a 100% tax deduction on the value of your gift!*

Here’s how donating cryptocurrency to Green Chimneys works:

By donating through our nonprofit partners at Every.org, your cryptocurrency gift is processed at no charge to you or Green Chimneys.

  • First, you’ll complete an on online cyptocurrency donation form on Every.org. 
  • Next, Every.org will convert your cryptocurrency gift to cash. This is immediately transferred to Green Chimneys and is readily available to be used for our innovative programming for children.**
  • You will receive an online receipt from Every.org as proof of your 100% tax-deductible gift. Every.org will also notify Green Chimneys of your gift and contact information.

** All gifts are directed to Green Chimneys, a multi-faceted nonprofit organization serving children with special needs through special education and residential treatment. For 75 years, Green Chimneys has led a nature-based approach to education. We’ve helped thousands of children foster connections with—and build skills from—interactions with animals and the environment. Today, youth suffering from complications of mental health or developmental health diagnoses such as Depression, ADHD, Anxiety, Autism Spectrum or Sensory Processing disorders, come to Green Chimneys for individualized treatment plans and smaller class sizes. Through customized clinical care and therapeutic education, children with special needs are breaking the barriers of social isolation, communication deficits, and low self-esteem. On the farm and in the classroom, on the trails and in the dorms, children are learning to self-regulate, develop friendships, and cultivate life skills. Every donation to Green Chimneys sustains the therapeutic education and nature-based programs that are citical for our children. Thanks in advance for your support!
