Topic: IRS 501(c)(3) Public Charities That Accept Bitcoin - page 3. (Read 14761 times)

Maybe tax exempt, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're a tax-deductible 501(c)(3) organization. I could not find their EIN anywhere -- to check on the IRS data base. And that's one of the core qualifiers for inclusion in this list. Maybe you can check that out further for me?

Another tax exempt charity that accepts bitcoin donations:

AMURTEL.  (www.amurtel.org)

AMURTEL is an international volunteer organization that works to help improve the quality of life for people experiencing chronic poverty or acute stress from environmental, financial, or political distress. We encourage and enable individuals and communities to harness their own resources for securing the basic necessities of life and for gaining greater economic sustainability and social and spiritual fulfillment. It is the goal of AMURTEL to assist communities in their recovery and development while honoring their customs, language, and religious beliefs.

This is highly informative.

Thanks so much for pointing me to this list I hadn't found yet!  I just did the sifting and added five more new listings.

There might be additional ones that can be found from sifting through the list here:  https://twitter.com/ClubAlpaca/lists/acceptsbitcoindonations/members

The following is a work in progress.  It's intended to be an active and comprehensive list of

• All IRS-Approved Public Charities (PC), eligible for U.S. tax-deductible contributions; i.e., all those listed on the Exempt Organizations Select Check. http://www.irs.gov/Charities-&-Non-Profits/Organizations-Eligible-to-Receive-Tax-Deductible-Charitable-Contributions
• Limited to those that have a bitcoin donation option on their web site.
  

You can easily confirm an organization's status and make a donation from the information given here.

You can also help build this list.  If you know or learn of any additional organization that satisfies the above criteria, please let me know by private message (or posting in this topic) and I will check it out and edit the list accordingly.

Special Situation

Fidelity Investments Charitable Gift Fund : 11-0303001 : Boston MA : fidelitycharitable.org Donor Advised Funds

There are reasons some non-profit organizations accepting bitcoin may not be found on this list:

• They may choose not to seek IRS registration;
• Their application may have been denied, or be currently processing, or be approved already but not yet posted on this IRS resource; or,
• They may have tax-deductible status under another non-profit entity (umbrella).

There can be a significant tax advantage in donating bitcoin to these charities.  Read more about it in the topic Avoid U.S. Taxes on Bitcoin. Give to Charity.  https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/avoid-us-taxes-on-bitcoin-give-to-charity-627860
