Our mission is to help seniors in poverty live healthy and fulfilling lives.

Why Donate Crypto to Serving Seniors?

Caught between rising rents and fixed incomes, San Diego’s low-income seniors are falling deeper into poverty. According to the Elder Index, developed by UCLA’s Center for Health Policy Research, 37% of San Diego seniors do not have enough income to pay for housing, food, health care, and transportation. These realities, combined with San Diego’s ongoing housing crisis, are making it more difficult for impoverished seniors to live healthy, independent lives. In the past two years, COVID exacerbated these challenges. Alone and scared, low-income seniors suddenly found themselves homebound, hungry, and isolated. For most, the crisis has meant limited human interaction and a myriad of neglected physical and mental health needs. If we do not act now, thousands of low-income seniors will end up impoverished. Seniors struggling with food insecurity, health issues, and homelessness use more public services, visit the emergency room more often, and are less likely to contribute to the local economy. Your philanthropic gift of cryptocurrency to Serving Seniors will keep older adults at risk receive robust, wraparound services in the areas of nutrition, housing, health and social services and help our poorest elderly neighbors to age with dignity and thrive.

Save on Your Taxes by Donating Crypto

Why Donate Crypto Directly? Taxes!

There’s a reason high net worth individuals tend to donate property instead of cash. Donating cryptocurrency directly to a 501c3 nonprofit is more tax efficient and can save you money.

The IRS classifies cryptocurrency as property for tax purposes which means it is typically the most tax efficient way to support your favorite cause. When donating crypto, you receive a tax deduction for the fair market value of the crypto, and you avoid the capital gains tax you would have incurred if you had sold the crypto and then made a donation. That means you’re able to donate more, as well as deduct more on your tax return. The difference? Sometimes more than 30%.

If you provide an email, you will automatically receive a tax receipt after donating.
