Donate Cryptocurrency to the Foundation Fighting Blindness.
Making a cryptocurrency donation is a powerful way to support the mission of the Foundation Fighting Blindness to drive the research for treatments and cures for blinding diseases affecting 1 in 53 individuals around the world.
With the support of generous friends like you, we’ve been able to help:
- Identify more than 270 retinal disease-causing genes.
- Fund more than 93 research grants annually.
- Provide genetic testing and counseling for $2,000 per person.
Donating crypto is safe, easy, and fast with the widget above.

This confirmation of your donation will help you close the loop when calculating your taxes.
Crypto charitable donations are processed quickly and safely with The Giving Block and Gemini Trust Exchange. All cryptocurrency donations are non refundable.

Are crypto donations tax-deductible?
Yes! Crypto donations are one of the most tax-efficient ways to give to charity. Your crypto donation is tax-deductible to the fullest extent permitted by law if you pay taxes in the U.S. By making a charitable gift, you may also be eligible to significantly reduce what you would otherwise owe in capital gains taxes.
As with any tax-related questions, be sure to consult with a qualified, professional tax advisor. Get more information about lowering your crypto taxes.
