As nonprofits and churches, meeting donors where they are is vital, especially with the next generation. Increasingly, this means embracing new giving methods like cryptocurrency. For Millennials and Gen Z, crypto often represents a meaningful portion of their wealth. As Overflow CEO, Vance Roush writes in High-Growth Fundraising: The Silicon Valley Way, "To unlock generosity, you have to make giving effortless and relevant to where people are today." Offering crypto as a giving option does just that. It opens a door to assets that many donors are ready to share if given the chance.

It’s Easier Than You Think

Crypto might feel like uncharted territory, but offering it as a giving option is less about understanding blockchain and more about providing your donors with flexibility. The truth is, gifting crypto is easier for both organizations and donors thanks to modern giving solutions. Platforms like Overflow handle the technical aspects for you, so you don’t need to be a crypto expert.

From your perspective as an organization, everything is straightforward: donations are processed seamlessly, tax receipts are generated automatically, and any crypto asset donated can be instantly converted to cash. It’s just as manageable as any other donation method.

For donors, the process is equally simple. Most are already familiar with transferring crypto, and platforms like Overflow provide easy-to-follow instructions, removing any guesswork. Plus, crypto donations can come with significant tax advantages, encouraging donors to give generously while also lowering their taxable income. When both sides have access to a smooth process, the barriers to giving are practically nonexistent.

Empowering Your Mission

By enabling crypto donations, you’re not just keeping up with the times, you’re showing your younger donors that you’re ready to innovate for the sake of your shared goals. When giving becomes as effortless as possible, generosity naturally follows. As Vance often says, "When you lower the barriers to giving, you raise the ceiling on generosity." Offering a non-cash giving option like crypto is your opportunity to lower those barriers and engage donors in a way that feels relevant to them.
