How to Give Cryptocurrency to Your Church (and Why It Matters in 2025)

A New Way to Give: Crypto Donations for the Local Church

We're thrilled to announce a deeper partnership with Engiven that enables all Tithely customers to accept cryptocurrency and stock donations. Engiven’s average crypto and stock donation is over $15,000, so now’s the time to get started!

If you’ve invested in cryptocurrency or stocks, 2025 has been a good year. Bitcoin is up nearly 15%, and the S&P 500 has climbed 17% (at the time of publication), creating new opportunities for generosity as well as growth.

As the year comes to a close, many believers are looking for ways to maximize their charitable giving. If you’ve benefited from market gains, there’s a strategic and impactful way to give that goes beyond cash, checks, or credit cards: donating cryptocurrency or appreciated stock directly to your church.

Why Stock and Crypto Giving Matters at Year-End

End-of-year giving isn’t just about hitting donation goals. It’s about stewardship and impact.
When you donate appreciated assets like Bitcoin or stock, you can often:

• Avoid capital gains taxes you would pay if you sold those assets
• Deduct the full fair market value of your donation if you itemize
• Increase your giving power without reducing your cash flow

That means your church receives more, and you still benefit financially. It’s a win for both generosity and wisdom.

Tithely + Engiven: Making Crypto Giving Simple

Tithely has partnered with Engiven, one of the most trusted crypto giving platforms for faith-based organizations, to provide instant access to cryptocurrency and stock donations.

This means your church can receive Bitcoin, Ethereum, or other major crypto gifts, as well as donations of stock, instantly converted into cash and deposited safely into your church’s bank account.

• No annual fees
• Low transaction fees
• Access to major non-cash gifts right away

Why Crypto Giving Is Especially Powerful in 2025

With the markets performing well this year, many investors are holding appreciated assets that could trigger taxable gains if sold.

Instead of liquidating those holdings, donating them directly allows you to:

• Support your church with a larger gift
• Bypass the capital gains tax on appreciated crypto or stock
• Claim a charitable deduction for the full fair market value
• Make a lasting impact while being financially wise

Crypto giving isn’t just a niche trend anymore. It’s part of a larger shift toward digital generosity that meets people where they already are financially and technologically.

How to Give Crypto to Your Church

1. Check if your church accepts crypto gifts.
   Many Tithely churches already have Engiven Instant enabled, giving you a simple way to give crypto or stock.
2. Get your church’s crypto giving link.
   This link works just like any other giving form—secure, trackable, and ministry-directed.
3. Choose your asset and gift amount.
   Select your preferred cryptocurrency or stock, and Engiven will handle the rest.
4. Receive a tax-deductible receipt.
   Engiven automatically issues a detailed receipt for your records.

Generosity That Reflects God’s Provision

Every market gain is an opportunity to give thanks and to give back.

Donating cryptocurrency or stock isn’t just financially savvy; It’s a way to align your blessings with your faith, supporting the mission and ministry of your church in a tangible way.

As 2025 draws to a close, consider using your appreciated assets to fuel Kingdom impact in a way that’s simple, secure, and tax-efficient.
