Crypto & stablecoin giving

Give crypto or stablecoin

Support free, plain-language cancer education with digital currency. It can be a fast, low-fee way to give, and it keeps the library free for the patients, caregivers, and families who rely on it.

Donate USDC stablecoin in seconds

USDC is a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar, so your gift’s value doesn’t swing between when you send it and when we receive it. Give it right here through our secure checkout — no separate wallet transfer to manage.

Choose another amount or frequency

At checkout, choose the crypto / stablecoin option to pay in USDC (available on major networks). Card, Apple Pay, and Google Pay are there too if you change your mind.

Why give with crypto

  • Talk with a tax professional

    We're a recognized 501(c)(3), so crypto gifts are generally tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law — but valuation and reporting rules for crypto are your own, so we cannot provide tax advice.

  • Fast and low-fee

    Stablecoin gifts settle in minutes, and on-chain fees are typically far lower than card-processing fees — so more of your donation funds the work instead of the middle.

  • Global and borderless

    Supporters anywhere in the world can give without currency conversion or international card friction — fitting for a library meant to reach people everywhere.

  • Secure and transparent

    Stablecoin gifts run through Stripe's secure checkout, the same processor as our card and wallet donations. On-chain gifts carry their own public, verifiable record.

Giving Bitcoin, Ethereum, or a larger crypto gift?

For donations of Bitcoin, Ether, or other cryptocurrencies — especially larger gifts where tax, valuation, or restriction questions may matter — please reach out and we’ll arrange a secure transfer and send you an acknowledgement for your records. We don’t post a public wallet address here, because confirming the destination directly with you is safer for everyone.

An honest note on taxes and our status. National Cancer Information Foundation is recognized by the IRS as tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3), and contributions — including crypto gifts — are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. That said, nothing here is tax advice: crypto tax rules (valuation, reporting, cost basis) are complex and depend on your own situation — please talk with a qualified tax professional about your specific circumstances before giving.
