Donate cryptocurrency to Wounded Warriors
70+ tokens accepted via The Giving Block. Crypto you have held more than one year generally avoids capital-gains tax and deducts its fair market value; for shorter holdings the deduction is generally the lesser of cost basis or fair market value (IRS Notice 2014-21). Ask your tax advisor how this applies to you.
Tokens accepted (70+)
5-step process
- Open the widget: thegivingblock.com/donate/wounded-warriors
- Choose your token + amount — widget calculates token quantity at current market rate.
- Provide donor info (optional) — name + email for a receipt. Anonymous gifts are accepted, but no receipt can be issued to an anonymous donor.
- Send to the receiving address from your wallet (Coinbase, MetaMask, Ledger, Trezor, etc.). Usually settles in 10-60 minutes.
- Receive your receipt by email. It describes the donation (asset, amount, date) and carries our EIN 86-1336741. Claimed deductions over $5,000 generally require a qualified appraisal and Form 8283 — see IRS Publication 526.
FAQ
Why donate crypto instead of cash?
IRS Notice 2014-21 treats crypto as property. For crypto held more than one year, you generally deduct its fair market value and owe no capital-gains tax on the appreciation. For crypto held one year or less, the deduction is generally the lesser of your cost basis or fair market value. Claimed deductions over $5,000 generally require a qualified appraisal and Form 8283 (IRS Publication 526). Ask your tax advisor how this applies to you.
Does Wounded Warriors hold the crypto?
No. The Giving Block converts each gift to USD within 1 business day and remits the proceeds. We don't hold crypto positions.
Can I donate NFTs?
NFT donations require special handling. Email info@warriorsfund.org first — we can accept floor-priced collections via The Giving Block but illiquid 1-of-1s usually aren't feasible.
What about staking rewards?
Tokens you received as staking rewards can be donated like any other supported token. Check The Giving Block widget for supported assets, and ask your tax advisor about their cost basis and holding period.
Is anonymous donation possible?
Yes, The Giving Block lets you give without sharing your name. Without your name and email, no receipt can be issued to you, and a deduction of $250 or more needs a written acknowledgment.
