Donor-Advised Funds
Maximize your impact with Bitcoin-native charitable giving
Bitcoin Donor-Advised Funds
The most powerful way to maximize your charitable Bitcoin giving
At Bitcoin Bay Foundation, we believe in Bitcoin's power to create meaningful, positive change. That's why we've partnered with specialized Bitcoin DAF providers to offer donor-advised funds that allow you to maximize your charitable Bitcoin giving while maintaining the unique security properties of Bitcoin itself.
What is a donor-advised fund?
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a powerful charitable giving vehicle that enables you to make a contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction (assuming relevant requirements are met), and then recommend grants to charitable organizations over time. DAFs provide a strategic holding place for your Bitcoin before it reaches it's final destination, allowing you to plan your giving while potentially benefiting from the appreciation of your donated assets.
Why choose Bitcoin donor-advised funds?
Bitcoin DAFs operate within secure, multisignature vaults that protect your donated Bitcoin. This means you can send Bitcoin directly into the DAF, keep it as Bitcoin within the DAF, and send Bitcoin directly to non-profits of your choice without having to convert in and out of US dollars.
Key benefits of Bitcoin DAFs:
Simplify Bitcoin for the causes you care about
Watch your Bitcoin's value grow tax-free within the fund, potentially increasing the overall impact of your charitable gifts. Direct donations to chosen charities in either Bitcoin or US dollars.
Security and transparency
Your Bitcoin is secured in segregated, collaborative custody vaults using multisignature technology. The Bitcoin remains securely on-chain and verifiable at any time.
Significant tax benefits
Receive a tax deduction for the fair market value of your Bitcoin at the time of donation. Bitcoin donated to a DAF is not subject to capital gains tax.
Support the Bitcoin ecosystem
Help fund open-source contributors, academic organizations, and charities that strengthen the Bitcoin and freedom tech movements.
"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. By leveraging Bitcoin's unique properties, we create opportunities to support the causes that matter most."
— Bitcoin Bay Foundation
Fix the money, fix the world
Bitcoin DAFs represent a revolutionary approach to charitable giving. By preserving Bitcoin's security and appreciation potential while simplifying the donation process, we're creating a more efficient and powerful way to support important causes.
