There are various non-cash ways to support the IOCDF that offer you as the donor valuable tax benefits. Read below for more information on donating in cryptocurrency, donating stocks, opening up a donor-advised fund (DAF), or making a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) from your IRA.
Donate in Cryptocurrency
The IOCDF partners with The Giving Block to accept donations in various cryptocurrencies. Donating cryptocurrency to a 501(c)(3) public charity is a non-taxable event, meaning you won’t owe capital gains tax on the appreciated amount and can also receive a tax deduction. This makes Bitcoin and other crypto donations one of the most tax-efficient ways to support the IOCDF’s work for those affected by OCD and related disorders.
We accept 80+ cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), and many more. For direct donations:
BTC : 151A43JruP4CsNKawKGGUTNKSDRcN6t5CH
ETH : 0x6f8a1f96302e51b27d5c56e396aba7fe9704fb5c
USDT trc20 : TD8DVZhXptikxUttap4wCHTPUHQMPBr4Mb
When you provide an email through the donation form, you’ll receive an automatic tax receipt.
How It Works
Your cryptocurrency donation is converted instantly to USD, ensuring immediate impact on IOCDF programs. (Note: IOCDF does not hold or invest in cryptocurrency.) Visit this link to learn more about tax benefits and FAQs.
Donate Stock
We welcome gifts of stock, real estate, or other appreciated assets. Donating stock to the IOCDF allows you to avoid capital gains tax on appreciated assets while receiving a tax deduction for the full market value. This makes donating stock a highly tax-efficient way to support the IOCDF’s mission.
To make a stock donation, please contact your broker to get started, OR use the same Giving Block widget above by clicking the Stock button (minimum $500 for donations). If your broker is unsupported, select “Other” in the widget, and The Giving Block will guide you through the next steps. Once processed, you’ll receive a tax receipt.
For donations of other assets, please contact klynch@iocdf.org.
Donor Advised Funds (DAFs)
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a strategic, tax-efficient tool for charitable giving, usually managed by organizations like Fidelity Charitable, Charles Schwab Charitable, and Vanguard Charitable. You can contribute to your DAF, receive an immediate tax deduction, and recommend grants to charities, including the IOCDF (EIN: 22-2894564).
How Does a DAF Work?
- You make an irrevocable contribution of cash or other assets. (You may choose to be recognized or remain anonymous.)
- You immediately receive the maximum tax deduction allowed by the IRS at the time of the contribution (making this a tax-efficient strategy for charitable giving).
- Your contribution is placed into an account where it can be invested and grow tax-free.
- At any time, you can recommend grants from your account to qualified charities.
Leave a Legacy with your DAF! As you plan your estate, consider naming the IOCDF as a beneficiary to your DAF. Learn more about legacy giving options.
Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs)
Are you 70 ½ years or older and have an Individual Retirement Account (IRA)? A qualified charitable distribution (QCD), also known as an IRA charitable distribution or IRA rollover, allows you to donate up to $100,000 ($200,000 for married couples) to the IOCDF directly from your taxable IRA instead of taking your required minimum distributions. Donating to a charity like the IOCDF through a QCD offers valuable tax incentives. Contact your IRA account holder to learn more and get started!
