Episode notes
Meet Donors Where They Give
- Offer donors choice, convenience, and control by accepting cash, crypto, stock, and donor-advised funds.
- Let donors give in ways that align with their finances and preferences to unlock larger gifts.
Tax Incentives Drive Noncash Gifts
- Donors give crypto and stock directly to charities mainly to avoid capital gains tax.
- That tax incentive can convert existing assets into major gifts without forcing donors to cash out.
Crypto Donors: Young, Wealthy, Generous
- Crypto donors skew younger, wealthier, and generous with average age ~38 and gift size over $10,000.
- These donors can both deliver major one-time gifts and bring longer-term lifetime value.
