I’ve been exploring ways to donate non-cash assets directly (e.g., stocks and cryptocurrency) to EA organizations. From what I can tell, several orgs I’ve checked don’t offer this option through their websites (for example, the Horizon Institute).
It seems that Every.org facilitates this for a range of EA organizations (such as CEA and the Simon Institute) but not for many that I'd expect (e.g., some Effective Altruism groups, and Horizon).
Why aren’t more EA organizations using Every.org or a similar service to accept stock and crypto donations? There may be good reasons I’m not aware of. If not, I wanted to flag that I, and others I know, are interested in donating this way and would be more likely to support your work if you can facilitate these kinds of donations.
[Edited in response to Lorenzo Buonanno's comment which identified some errors in the original post]
GWWC accepts crypto donations (from most countries) and stock donations (from the US) above $1,000 USD, see https://www.givingwhatwecan.org/faq/can-i-donate-cryptocurrency-stocks-or-other-appreciated-assets
AMF accepts crypto donations: https://www.againstmalaria.com/donate_Crypto.aspx and stock donations: https://www.againstmalaria.com/donate_securities.aspx
For others, I see that Effective Altruism DC mentions contacting them via email on https://www.effectivealtruismdc.org/contribute , I think sending a quick email can often help.
Thanks for correcting me, Lorenzo, I really appreciate it! I was clearly a little inattentive/hasty when doing my research and writing this post. I have added a note to the original and will downvote myself for spreading false info, and wasting people's time here.
That seems excessive, it was a reasonable question. I would let other readers decide whether it should be upvoted or downvoted.
But I am surprised you didn't Google "Against Malaria Foundation Crypto" or something like that, it seems faster than asking here.
Re: Googling, this post wasn't really motivated by finding out how to donate crypto/stocks to AMF. I mainly just wanted to signal to EA orgs that they should be able to receive such donations (or understand why some might not accept it).
The rough sequence of events was:
Given my experience, I wonder if it would be helpful for someone (CEA?) to maintain a simple resource listing which EA orgs accept stock and crypto? I'm not sure if there is enough confusion or demand to justify it, though.
