donor-advised funds
Maximize your impact with Bitcoin-native charitable giving
what_is_a_donor_advised_fund
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a charitable giving vehicle that allows you to make an irrevocable contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants to your favorite nonprofits over time.
With Bitcoin-native DAFs, you can contribute Bitcoin directly, avoiding capital gains taxes on appreciated assets while maximizing the value of your donation. The fund sponsor handles the administrative burden, including tax receipts, record-keeping, and grant distribution.

Traditional donor-advised funds have long been popular for their tax advantages and flexibility. Bitcoin-native DAFs take this a step further by integrating directly with the Bitcoin network, offering unique benefits for Bitcoiners who want to give back.
Whether you are a long-term holder looking to donate appreciated Bitcoin or someone who believes in aligning your philanthropy with sound money principles, a Bitcoin DAF provides the ideal vehicle for meaningful, tax-efficient giving.

Simplify Bitcoin giving
A DAF streamlines the process of donating Bitcoin and other digital assets, handling conversions, record-keeping, and distribution so you can focus on the causes you care about.
Security and transparency
Bitcoin-native DAFs leverage blockchain technology for transparent, verifiable transactions. Every donation is traceable and secure, giving you confidence in your charitable giving.
Significant tax benefits
Contributing appreciated Bitcoin to a DAF allows you to take an immediate tax deduction at the full market value while avoiding capital gains taxes on the appreciation.
Support the Bitcoin ecosystem
By using a Bitcoin-native DAF, you strengthen the broader Bitcoin ecosystem and demonstrate the viability of Bitcoin as a tool for philanthropy and social good.
“Bitcoin donor-advised funds are more than just a way to give—they're a way to transform how we think about money, security, and philanthropy.”
