Can I Give Cryptocurrency to Ministry?

Ask Barnabas Foundation

Q: Can I give cryptocurrency to ministry?

A: Absolutely! As cryptocurrency continues to grow as a mainstream investment, it’s an increasingly smart, tax-efficient way to give.

Just like gifts of stock, real estate, or other non-cash assets, donating cryptocurrency allows you to receive an immediate charitable deduction for the fair market value of your gift while avoiding capital gains tax. This means more of your investment goes toward Kingdom impact rather than taxes.

Barnabas Foundation will handle the entire process—converting your digital asset into U.S. dollars and then distributing the funds to your chosen ministries or placing them into your Stewards Fund (a Christian donor-advised fund) account. You can also use cryptocurrency to establish a life income gift.
