[H6] How do I donate cryptocurrency to #TeamTrees?
It’s easy! Select the method of currency you would like to donate, fill out some optional information about yourself, including an email address for a tax receipt, then a protected wallet address will be generated for your donation that will link directly to the #TeamTrees wallet.

[H6] Why should I donate cryptocurrency to #TeamTrees?
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 and other cryptocurrency donations one of the most tax efficient ways for you to support #TeamTrees.
The IRS classifies cryptocurrency as a property for tax purposes which means it is typically the most tax-efficient way to support #TeamTrees. When donating cryptocurrency, you receive a tax deduction for the fair market value of the cryptocurrency, and you avoid the capital gains tax you would have incurred if you had sold the cryptocurrency and then donated. That means you can donate more, as well as deduct more on your tax return.

[H6] Is there a minimum donation amount required to make a crypto donation?
Yes. There is a minimum of $10 for all crypto donations.

[H6] Will I see my donation on the leaderboard?
You will, just not right away. Donations made using cryptocurrency will populate on the leaderboard within 3-5 business days. This won’t last forever, though, so, stay tuned!
