When you donate stocks and ETFs instead of selling the assets and donating cash, you do not realize capital gains and the transaction is not subject to capital gains tax. Further, you are accredited a charitable contribution for the fair market value of the assets you donated. That means the money that you would have paid in taxes can be given directly to charities that you care about.
One single contribution of appreciated assets has limitless possibilities on how many charities you can grant those funds to. Get one simple tax receipt, and grant contributed funds to as many charities as you want over time.
B Charitable receives the assets, liquidates the assets, and distributes the proceeds to your donor advised fund. The donor requests grants to charities and the charities receive the desired amount without the hassle of asset transfers or complex receipts.

*This calculation is a hypothetical example to illustrate the benefit of contributing assets to a donor advised fund, and assumes the taxpayer is selling 100% of their position, paying a 35% Federal income tax rate, a 1x realized gain on their crypto, and a long-term capital gains rate of 23.8%. Your tax liability may be substantially higher or lower, depending on your individual tax situation.
Set up your free B Charitable donor advised fund and log into your personal dashboard either online or through our app.
Elect to make a contribution to your fund through Crypto and B Charitable will provide you a custom wallet code that allows you to transfer the funds directly from the trading app of your choice.
You will receive email confirmations each step along the way for transfer, blockchain confirmation, and USD conversion. The only fees collected are fees collected by third parties facilitating the transaction.
Once the contribution is available in your donor advised fund, you can request grants to the charities of your choosing, or invest your balance and watch it grow.
If you choose to invest your balance in one of our three investment pools, you can watch it grow over time. Your fund can grow tax free and increase your charitable impact.
What’s so cool is B Charitable has taken out all of the guess work and additional expenses out of giving back. Whether you put money in your fund throughout the year, or procrastinate until December 31st, B Charitable allows you to get the tax benefits immediately and take your time figuring out where to donate that money.Â
B Charitable is giving ordinary people the tools to give back like the 1%. They have revolutionized giving back to charity because not only can you donate when and how you want, but they provide the opportunity to grow the money you donate over time, completely tax free.Â
We can currently receive Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USD Coin and are working to unlock other capabilities soon!
If a donor contributes appreciated stock or crypto instead of selling the asset and contributing cash, neither the donor nor B Charitable have to pay income tax on the liquidation. This leaves more for charities without increasing the burden on the donor. Add in the charitable contribution deduction and we consider it a win, win.
As with everything associated with crypto, timing on the transaction will vary, but in most situations the proceeds of a crypto or stock transaction will be available in a donor’s fund in 5-7 business days.
B Charitable’s policy is to liquidate appreciated assets as soon as possible and deposit the proceeds of that sale (minus third party fees) to a donor’s fund within 5-7 business days. While fluctuation in value does occur, we are constantly improving our processes to minimize the effect.
B Charitable collects a 1.5% fee on crypto contributions to cover the fees charged by third parties.
