Looking to donate cryptocurrency but not sure where to begin?
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!*
By donating through our nonprofit partners at Every.org, your cryptocurrency gift is processed at no charge to you or Green Chimneys.
If you have any questions, please contact Kristin Dionne at [email protected] or 845-279-2995 x330.
* Please consult your tax advisor for further details and advice.
** 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!
With the completion of an elaborate new habitat built by Green Chimneys’ woodshop students, the Farm Science classroom was able to welcome Brownie into her new home. Brownie previously lived alone in her cage in the farm and wildlife office, but guinea pigs do best in larger environments. The new habitat allows her to live in a herd as she would in the wild, with many places to hide and ways to practice her skills. Brownie has always been a social creature, and she has taken over the guinea pig herd but is a very peaceful leader.
