Bringing Cryptocurrency into the Donor Conversation

Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum and Dogecoin, are becoming increasingly popular as charitable gift options. Many nonprofit organizations have begun to recognize crypto as an exciting new revenue stream.

Cryptocurrency ushers in a new era for fundraising, and all nonprofit organizations—big or small, established or start-up—and offers tax advantages for donors. Accepting cryptocurrency isn’t as difficult as you may think – and it can open up opportunities to engage new donors for your nonprofit.

In this Seminar, you’ll learn to identify the demographics of cryptocurrency donors and understand what motivates them to give to charities, as well as what your organization will need to do to incorporate crypto into your fundraising strategies. David will cover:

• What is cryptocurrency?
• Who uses cryptocurrency?
• Who donates cryptocurrency and why?
• Why accepting cryptocurrency can benefit your nonprofit
• How it works (donating crypto, digital wallet)
• How to incorporate the cryptocurrency gift option into your fundraising efforts
