Donate Cryptocurrency
As a forward-thinking organization driving innovation in cancer immunotherapy, the Cancer Research Institute (CRI) is proud to accept cryptocurrency donations. Just as we embrace cutting-edge science, we’re also embracing new tools that make supporting our mission easier and more impactful.
What is Cryptocurrency?
Cryptocurrency or crypto is a digital currency that is not reliant on any central authority. This means that anyone, anywhere, can make a donation regardless of geographic borders.
Strategic Advantages of Donating with Crypto
- Maximize Your Impact: Crypto donations typically come with lower transaction fees than credit cards—so more of your gift directly fuels CRI’s mission and supports lifesaving research.
- Privacy and Transparency: Crypto offers donors privacy while maintaining secure, blockchain-based transparency for every transaction.
- Potential Tax Benefits: Donating crypto may reduce your capital gains tax and offer the same charitable deductions as cash gifts. Please consult your tax advisor to learn more.
