Give Cryptocurrency

Your support makes it possible for ICA Miami to explore and experiment in art and visual culture. And now, you can give with the same spirit of innovation: ICA Miami accepts cryptocurrency donations offering an easy and secure way to support the museum and its programs.

Donating cryptocurrency is a non-taxable event, meaning you do not owe capital gains tax on the appreciated amount and can deduct it on your taxes. This makes Bitcoin, Ethereum and other cryptocurrency donations one of the most tax-efficient ways to support your favorite cause. You can find all of our accepted cryptocurrencies in our Frequently Asked Questions below.

When you donate cryptocurrency to ICA Miami, you will receive a tax deduction at fair market value at the time of the donation. Learn more about charitable contributions, cryptocurrency, and taxes by clicking here (PDF).

Frequently Asked Questions

Why donate cryptocurrency?

When you donate crypto to a registered charity, you do not recognize capital gains from the donation and can deduct it on your taxes. In other words, donating your crypto can often reduce your tax burden. Would you rather donate to the IRS or your favorite cause?

Can I donate Bitcoin?

Yes. Instead of selling your Bitcoin and donating the after-tax proceeds, you can donate your Bitcoin and other cryptos directly to charities and other nonprofits, which means your tax deduction will be the same as the market value of the donation.

I need a wallet address to complete my donation. Where can I access this information?

You can generate a wallet address by using our widget above.

  1. Choose the currency you wish to donate.
  2. Put in any amount for the pledge (don’t worry – receipts will match the actual amount donated).
  3. Enter your donor information or choose to donate anonymously.

Once you reach the third page, the widget will generate a dynamic wallet address you can use to complete your donation.

Why is the wallet address different every time?

When using The Giving Block widget you’ll notice that a new wallet address is created every time. This is because The Giving Block uses dynamic wallet addresses.

This is done to protect your privacy and ours. Doing so helps prevents third parties from viewing all of your transaction history simply by copying and pasting the wallet address or TXID into a block explorer.

All addresses that are generated are associated with your donor information AND ours forever. This means that you can reuse the address as often as you’d like or you can generate a new one each time. It’s up to you. In some cases, users want to re-use an address because they’ve added it as a payout address in an app or smart contract.

Will I get a receipt with my donation?

In order to receive a receipt with your donation, you must enter your email when prompted to in our widget above. You will automatically receive a receipt from receipts@thegivingblock.com as soon as the transaction is confirmed on the blockchain. This changes depending on the blockchain – you can refer to this guide for estimates and more information. Please note that you will receive a receipt every time you donate with our wallet address to the receipt you enter when generating the address.

Can I donate anonymously?

Yes, of course! However, if you’d like to receive a tax receipt, you must enter your email address when prompted on the third page. A tax receipt will only be sent once you’ve entered your email address.

Why can I donate Polygon (MATIC) but not tokens sent via the Polygon network?

The Giving Block supports the ERC-20 Polygon (MATIC) asset but The Giving Block does not support transfers via the Polygon/Matic network. In order to successfully donate Polygon (MATIC) to a charity please be sure the assets you are transferring are on the Ethereum mainnet (ERC-20 token).

What is The Giving Block’s donation refund policy?

All cryptocurrency donations made via The Giving Block are nonrefundable.

We are not able give refunds if you changed your mind, sent the wrong cryptocurrency or made the wrong decision.

No goods, services or airdrops will be offered in exchange for cryptocurrency donations.
