Looking for a way to make a meaningful difference for individuals and families facing homelessness? At Shelters to Shutters we are doing just that! And we want to make it easy for you to contribute to a cause that is important to you. Shelters to Shutters now accepts cryptocurrency like bitcoin or Ether. It’s just the latest in a long list of ways that our donors can support our amazing participants like George and his daughter.
Whether you’re looking for a tax-benefit or even a less-direct, low or no-cost way to donate, we’ve got your ideas here!
Donate Cryptocurrency
Shelters to Shutters has partnered with The Giving Block to convert your cryptocurrency donation into dollars that will go directly to our mission. Like donating stocks, donating cryptocurrency is a non-taxable event, meaning you do not owe capital gains tax on the appreciate amount and can deduct it on your taxes.
We accept the following cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Zcash (ZEC), Gemini Dollar (GUSD), Basic Attention Token (BAT), Chainlink (LINK), 0x (ZRX), Storj (STORJ), Dai (DAI), Amp (AMP), The Graph (GRT), UMA (UMA), 1inch (1INCH), and dozens of others. A comprehensive list appears below!
Donating Stock
A gift of appreciated stock can benefit you in two ways: you receive a charitable income tax deduction for the full fair market value of the securities and at the same time you may avoid capital gains taxes on appreciated stock. To make a gift of stock to Shelters to Shutters, contact Kristen Poteet at 703-634-6130 or email kristen.poteet@shelterstoshutters.org.
Donate a Car
Shelters to Shutters partners with the Cars for Charity vehicle donation program which allows you to donate your car with the value in dollars going directly to Shelters to Shutters and you can deduct the amount on your taxes. Cars for Charity makes it simple and seamless! Click here to donate a car to Shelters to Shutters.
Workplace Matching Gifts

Check with your company to see if they have one in place to double your donation impact!
