Patient Support Helpline
ZERO360 is a free, comprehensive patient support service to help patients and their families navigate insurance and financial obstacles to cover treatment and other critical needs associated with cancer.
Give Crypto to Support Prostate Cancer Patients
Donate crypto to help end prostate cancer! When you give cryptocurrency, your generosity means support for patients and their families — and reduces your capital gains taxes in the process.
For more than 25 years, ZERO has lead the charge for cancer research funding, helped millions of men and families with help understanding their disease, risks, and treatment options, and given direct assistance to prostate cancer patients and caregivers, supporting them throughout their prostate cancer journeys.
Save on Taxes by Donating Crypto
Transferring your coins is quick, easy, and one of the most tax-efficient ways of giving to charity. The widget on this page will tell you ZERO’s wallet address for the specific coin you’d like to give, and lets you provide your contact information so that we can give you a tax receipt for the fair-market value of your donation.
It’s one of the most tax efficient ways of giving to charity; the IRS views giving crypto to a 501(c)(3) as a property donation, so you can both claim the gift as a tax deduction, and avoid capital gains taxes on your coins. Talk to your tax advisor, you might be able to save 30% versus converting your coins to fiat.

We accept most of the popular altcoins, and stablecoins, though specifics change along with market conditions.
What is your refund policy?
All cryptocurrency donations are nonrefundable.
Your donation is immediately converted into fiat, making cryptocurrency refunds impossible. We are not able give refunds if you changed your mind, sent the wrong cryptocurrency or made the wrong decision.
We work hard to ensure that every token donated is put to work as soon as possible. When we receive your donation it is understood that this is made to support ZERO’s mission and we are deeply grateful for your support.
Does your charity HODL the donated coins?
No. Our software immediately converts the coins to fiat so there’s no question about how much you’ve given. For the purposes of taxes, the IRS views the exchange as a property donation, which does not trigger capital gains on your gift. Talk to your financial advisor, as this can have a substantial tax implications in your favor!
Are airdrops or other goods and services ever offered in exchange for donations?
No. ZERO does not, has not, and will never offer any form of cryptocurrency airdrop, goods or services in return for a donation.
I'm minting an NFT collection, and would like to donate part of the proceeds to a charity. Is that possible?
Absolutely! In addition to the tax advantages you can reap, it’s a great way to build a community around men’s health, honor loved ones who have been impacted by prostate cancer, and build buzz around your project.
From a technical standpoint, all you need to do is mint the collection, track the income, and make a donation to ZERO using this page’s donation form.
It’s important to note that ZERO cannot and will not offer goods or services for your project. We’re happy to discuss how you can best explain the mission, impact that donations will have, provide details about who we are and what we do for your community, and even participate in events tied to men’s health and fundraising. We cannot be legal advisors, tax professionals, technical consultants, or establish business partnerships in relation to your NFT.
Can you accept NFTs?
There are workarounds to sending us an NFT directly, as we don’t have an automated solution for directly processing non-fungible tokens at this time.
Typically, those who want to use NFTs for the sake of charity will just sell their NFT artwork on a site like OpenSea, then transfer the proceeds directly to ZERO. Since the IRS views crypto donations as a property exchange, the tax implications are the same.
If you’d like a way for the investor who purchased your NFT get a tax benefit, it’s also possible (but a bit more complicated). What you’ll want to do is have them go ahead and donate coins directly to ZERO, and then provide you with the transaction ID. You can then verify with the blockchain’s public ledger that the donation has been made, and then transfer your NFT directly using a wallet such as Metamask.
I'd like to build a smart contract into my app that sends donations your way. Can you give me your wallet address?
Unfortunately, we don’t maintain permanent wallet addresses. Our fully automated solution generates addresses for the sake of each donation, which are immediately processed to fiat so there isn’t any question about investing strategy, holding coins, or the taxable value of the gifts.
