Cryptocurrency

Donating crypto is safe, easy, and fast. Using the donation form on this page, making a charitable gift is a quick three-step process:

Select your preferred crypto and enter your gift amount
Type in your email and basic info (or choose to give anonymously)
Make your gift!

Upon making a donation, you can elect to receive an automatically generated tax receipt that will be sent to the email address you provide after a certain amount of confirmations of the transaction on the blockchain. This confirmation of your donation will help you close the loop when calculating your taxes.

Crypto charitable donations are processed quickly and safely with The Giving Block and Gemini Trust Exchange.

The ESU Foundation secures philanthropic support to advance the University's mission to enhance every student's educational experience. With tuition and state funding only covering a portion of an ESU education, we rely on private support to help fund programs that benefit the entire university community.

The IRS classifies cryptocurrency as property for tax purposes which means it is typically the most tax-efficient way to support ESU. Donating cryptocurrency is a non-taxable event, which means, donors do not owe capital gains tax on the appreciated amount and can typically deduct the fair market value of the donation on their taxes. Please contact a crypto-savvy tax professional or financial advisor for more information.
