International Women’s Day: Donate Cryptocurrency to Africa Development Promise & Mona Foundation
International Women’s Day is an opportunity for people around the world to rally around what it means to be a woman. From triumphs to failures, it is a day for policy and culture to be examined, debated and, ultimately, changed. Today, Gemini and The Giving Block are highlighting two nonprofits who are led by women, empowering women and leading the charge for women in the nonprofit sector to lead when it comes to innovative technologies like Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

Give Bitcoin. Educate. Empower. Transform. Mona Foundation believes that every child deserves the gift of education. Cryptocurrency donations help us give that gift.
We educate children in need globally, empower women and girls, and enable them to give back to transform their own communities. In 2019 we supported the education and empowerment of more than 429,000 students in 19 projects in 12 countries. Read more About Us, Our Work, Results, and Stories of IMPACT. We are the recipient of $1,000,000 Bitcoin grant from Pineapple Fund, and now accept other cryptocurrencies like Ether (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) through The Giving Block. Your crypto donation will be valued at the time of donation at it is tax deductible FMV.
100% of your donation will support educate and empower students in need. (Private donors cover our 15% administrative cost.)
Here is why Rainn Wilson (Dwight from “The Office”) supports donating Bitcoin to Mona Foundation, on #BitcoinTuesday and beyond.
Donating your cryptocurrency to Mona Foundation is a win-win scenario. Your crypto donation will be valued at the time of donation at its fair market value, and you will receive a larger tax benefit because the entire FMV of the donation can be deducted. As a 501 (c) (3) organization, Mona Foundation is tax-exempt (EIN 91-1968512) and will receive the entire amount of cryptocurrency and ultimately a larger gift.

Why donate cryptocurrency?
If you’re a donor in the U.S., the IRS treats cryptocurrency donations like stocks, meaning you do not have to pay capital gains tax on your appreciated cryptocurrency and can write it off on your taxes. This is also the case in many other countries around the world, but please check with a tax professional for guidance.
Thanks for reading everybody!
