Donate Cryptocurrency

Why donate cryptocurrency to Musicians Making A Difference (MMAD)?

Making a cryptocurrency donation to support MMAD enables us to transform young lives through music. Your donation helps us to use the power of music & mentoring to inspire young people to overcome adversity & find their place in the world.

$10,000 could help an at-risk young person to overcome childhood abuse, neglect and/or disadvantage and realise their potential over a 12-month period. We accept donations in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and over 70 leading coins.

Every young person deserves someone who believes in them. Support MMAD by offering a charitable gift in cryptocurrency.

 Why is MMAD Important?

  • Suicide is the leading cause of death for young Australians aged 15-25

  • There are 26,400 reports of child abuse and neglect every year

  • 27,680 young people are homeless on any given night

Why does MMAD accept cryptocurrency?

We harness the power of digital currency to create long term change in the community. With a cryptocurrency donation, you’re empowering our charity to do what we do best on the frontline and leaving an immutable token of your generosity on the blockchain.

With more than 220 million crypto users worldwide and the value of many cryptocurrencies rising, the crypto community is in a position to make a wide-reaching impact through philanthropy. Donating crypto is also one of the most tax-efficient ways for individuals to support causes that matter to them.

Can I save on taxes by donating to MMAD in crypto?

Yes! Crypto donations are one of the most tax-efficient ways to give to our charity. If you provide an email, you will automatically receive a tax receipt after donating.

For US citizens, there’s a reason high net worth individuals tend to donate property instead of cash. Donating cryptocurrency directly to a 501c3 non-profit 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 favourite 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 donated. That means you’re able to donate more, as well as deduct more on your tax return. The difference? Sometimes more than 30%.
