When you donate crypto, everybody wins.
Giving to Hospice of Santa Cruz County means supporting care that makes a real difference in the lives of so many in our community. When you donate cryptocurrency, you receive a tax deduction for the value of the crypto and avoid the capital gains tax you would have paid if you sold the crypto before donating. This means donating crypto can translate into a larger donation and a higher tax deduction.

The IRS classifies cryptocurrencies as property, so crypto donations to 501c3 charities such as ours receive the same tax treatment as stock donations. This makes cryptocurrency donations one of the most tax-efficient ways to support Hospice of Santa Cruz County.
