Why give Crypto to Waco Foundation? To make McLennan County a better place!
Waco Foundation's Community Work
Giving Cryptocurrency
Giving Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency can offer a tax efficient way to support Waco Foundation and local nonprofits. Your contribution of electronic currency is tax-deductible to the fullest extent permitted by law. A taxpayer who donates cryptocurrency directly to charity may be able to claim the full value of the cryptocurrency as a charitable deduction and avoid capital gains taxes. Waco Foundation recommends reviewing all donations with your tax professional* to confirm the impact on your taxes.
Upon making a donation, you can elect to receive an automatically generated tax receipt that will be sent to the email address you provide. This confirmation of your donation will help you close the loop when calculating your taxes.
Through our crypto collaboration with The Giving Block and Gemini Trust Exchange, Waco Foundation accepts multiple cryptocurrencies, including Ethereum (ETH), Bitcoin Cash (BHC), Bitcoin (BTC) and more.
