Nonprofit KidWorks - https://kidworksoc.org - accepts cryptocurrency donations to support its mission to give students from preschool through university living in overlooked neighborhoods a holistic platform for them to lead lives of influence.

“As a forward-thinking nonprofit, KidWorks recognizes the importance of embracing new technologies to further its impact and reach,” said KidWorks Executive Director/CEO David Benavides. “By giving non-cash assets, such as cryptocurrency, donors can give up to 20% more because of the potential to lower their capital gains tax. That’s a win-win situation for donors and KidWorks.”

Benavides added, “By donating crypto, you empower real students to go from first-day-of-school to college graduate—breaking cycles, building futures, and becoming forces for good themselves. We are building and investing in the future workforce, lifting up the kind of students you’ll want to hire as adults because of their work ethic, integrity, perseverance.”
