Why donate Bitcoin to Save the Children?

Today Save the Children is on the ground, serving children’s needs and securing their right to protection, healthcare and education in over 100 countries. Children around the world are growing up in a backdrop of poverty and worsening financial crisis, robbing them of their future security. Save the Children believes that Bitcoin and decentralized technologies should be explored as a force for good and a force for financial inclusion.

What are the advantages of donating Bitcoin to Save the Children?

1) Turn your capital gains to good: In the U.S., the IRS classifies Bitcoin donations as property, meaning your Bitcoin donation can help offset capital gains tax.*

2) Remain anonymous if you wish: We accept anonymous donations. As an anonymous donor, you can receive a tax receipt if you provide an email address.

3) Don't Trust, Verify: Bitcoin donations to Save the Children can be verified on-chain so you can feel confident that your contribution went to the right place.

*Subject to change. Please consult your tax advisor.
