Polaris + Crypto

Why Give Crypto to Polaris

As a survivor-centered, technology-enabled, and justice & equity-driven organization that fights sex and labor trafficking, Polaris uses its multidisciplinary expertise on human trafficking and applied cryptography to outline a vision for web3 that will empower and protect the vulnerable while holding perpetrators of abuse and crimes accountable.

Polaris’s constellation of crypto-givers – you – will fuel this preventative, empowering, and freedom-affirming work.

Additional Information

The IRS classifies cryptocurrencies as property, so cryptocurrency donations to Polaris receive the same tax treatment as stocks. Donating cryptocurrency is a non-taxable event, meaning you do not owe capital gains tax on the appreciated amount and can deduct it on your taxes. This makes Bitcoin, Ethereum and other cryptocurrency donations one of the most tax efficient ways to support Polaris, more so than cash.

All cryptocurrency donations made to Polaris are nonrefundable. Polaris works hard to ensure that every token that is donated is put to work as soon as possible. As these donations are immediately converted into fiat, we do not offer refunds on any donations that are made in cryptocurrency. When Polaris receives your donation, it is understood that it is made to advance our mission. We are so grateful for your generous support!
