CRYPTOCURRENCY GIVING

Crypto That Cares: Connecting your digital generosity with the causes that matter most to you.
​

The Community Foundation of Grand Forks, East Grand Forks & Region is pleased to offer donors a modern, secure, and tax-efficient way to support the charitable causes they care about: cryptocurrency donations.
Whether you give to a donor-advised fund, scholarship fund, impact fund, the Imagination Library Fund, our Annual Fund, or any other fund at the Foundation, your crypto gift can make a meaningful difference across our region.

Why Give Cryptocurrency?

Cryptocurrency giving is fast, flexible, and may offer significant tax advantages. Donating crypto can be a powerful way to support local nonprofits and the long-term health of our community.
  • Support Any Fund at the Foundation: Direct your crypto donation to the charitable purpose that matters most to you, including donor-advised funds, scholarships, designated funds, community initiatives, and more.
  • Potential Tax Benefits: You may avoid capital gains taxes when donating cryptocurrency directly to a nonprofit, while also receiving a charitable tax deduction for the full fair-market value of the asset. Please consult your tax advisor for personalized guidance.
  • Secure, Simple, and Trusted Processing: We partner with Every.org, a reputable nonprofit platform that processes cryptocurrency gifts safely and converts them to U.S. dollars before granting them to the Foundation.
  • Give From Anywhere: Cryptocurrency donations can be made from anywhere in the world - anytime, within minutes.

Which Cryptocurrencies Can I Donate?

Through Every.org, we can accept donations of:
  • Bitcoin (BTC)
  • Ethereum (ETH)
  • USD Coin (USDC)
  • And more than 80 additional cryptocurrencies

​A complete list is available at Every.org: https://www.every.org/crypto

How Cryptocurrency Giving Works

Cryptocurrency donations are processed securely and efficiently through Every.org. Here’s how the process works:

1. You choose the cryptocurrency you want to donate.
Select from Bitcoin, Ethereum, USD Coin, or more than 80 other cryptocurrencies supported by Every.org.

2. Your donation is transferred through Every.org.
Every.org is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that securely processes cryptocurrency gifts for charities. Your crypto is transferred directly from your digital wallet to Every.org.

3. Every.org instantly converts your crypto to U.S. dollars.
To protect both donors and the Foundation from market volatility, Every.org immediately sells the cryptocurrency and converts it to cash.

4. You receive a tax receipt.
Every.org issues a charitable donation receipt for the fair-market value of the crypto at the time of transfer.

5. The Community Foundation receives the grant.
Every.org sends the converted funds and your note to the Community Foundation, and we allocate your gift to the fund or charitable purpose you chose.

6. Your gift begins working in the community.
Once received, your donation is invested or granted out according to the purpose of the fund, supporting scholarships, donor-advised grants, community initiatives, and more.
