Advancement > Crypto Giving

CryptoGift

Opportunity to tap into the rapidly growing Crypto ecosystem with younger, affluent, high affinity donors. Buildout, design, and integration of custom branded Cryptocurrency giving page. Allows for acceptance of major Cryptocurrencies. We utilize Mint Werx’s newly launched DonorFi™ technology, CryptoGift will integrate seamlessly into existing websites and giving pages, providing an easy way for donors to donate cryptocurrency.

The fully managed service employs custom processes for end-to-end settlement of donor transactions, simplifying the ability to accept crypto donations and eliminating the need for donors to liquidate their cryptocurrency before donating. 

According to the IRS (IRS Notice 2014-21), Cryptocurrency donations are generally treated as property and, similar to real estate or stock donations, when cryptocurrency is donated to charitable organizations the donor may not recognize income, gain or loss from the donation. As a result, donors may realize incentives to give crypto currency, while universities and nonprofits can maximize the benefits of receiving higher gross donations.

Highlights include:

• Managed Crypto wallet and auto settlement to USD for deposit.
• Assist with building integration into University Online Engagement/Giving Page platforms (Anthology/iModules, NetCommunity, HubSpot, CustomDonations, GiveGab, etc.)
• Assist with building integration into University CRM/Donation Management platform (Blackbaud, Salesforce, Ellucian, etc.)
