CryptoCurrency FAQ >
Why Do We Accept Cryptocurrency Donations?
Scottsdale Artists’ School recognizes the importance cryptocurrency plays in today’s economy and the lives of our alumni, parents, and friends. Donors may find it beneficial to make contributions to cryptocurrency and should consult their tax adviser regarding how donations of cryptocurrency and other highly appreciated assets may fit into their tax strategy.
Why Donate In Cryptocurrency Specifically?
For donors in the United States, the IRS has classified cryptocurrency as a form of property for tax purposes. This means that when you donate Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies to a 501(c)(3) nonprofit like Scottsdale Artists’ School, you may not be required to pay capital gains tax on donated cryptocurrency, and you may still be able to claim a deduction for your gift. Please consult your tax adviser for more information.
