Make a Cryptocurrency or NFT Charity Donation – and help save lives

Cryptocurrency donations are a tax-efficient way to support us as non-cash asset gifts are typically not subject to capital gains tax (check your country’s tax legislation).

In 2017, K9 Rescue became the first animal charity in the UK to accept Bitcoin – a form of digital currency, and then in 2022 we proudly joined CoinGate to be able to take multi-cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, Hedera (HBAR), Litecoin and 70+ more Altcoins.

Your crypto isn’t just sitting on the blockchain – it can rewrite the story for animals with no future. When you donate digital assets, you’re turning decentralized finance into decentralized compassion. Every token helps us rescue animals from war zones, streets, and shelters where hope has run out – and gives them a real shot at life. This is impact you can track, powered by people like you. Thank you for being part of our mission to save lives, one block at a time.

Frequently asked questions

Why accept cryptocurrencies?

Bitcoin and other mainstream cryptocurrencies are an innovative new kind of currency and we believe that by accepting Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Hedera and all the other Altcoins, we will provide the opportunity for donations we may not otherwise receive, as well as connecting us with a new community of supporters.

Also, from our research into future trends, it looks likely that we will receive digital currency as a donation and/or as part of a legacy at some point and we want to be prepared for that eventuality.

Are Crypto donations anonymous?

Yes, they work the same as a cash donation in that anyone can send them to us without providing their details. If people wish to hear from us in the future, they can provide their details voluntarily.

What is the value of different cryptocurrencies?

The value of each crytocurrency varies. An up-to-date value in dollars, pounds or euros can be found at coindesk.com/price.

The ‘wallet’ – which is a kind of online collecting tin for Cryptocurrencies – we have chosen to use, allows for donations of 0.00000001 of a crypto ‘coin’.

How safe is it to donate cryptocurrencies?

We’ve selected a provider that we believe offers the best level of protection for our crypto coins in a hosted ‘wallet’ using two-factor authentication and AES encryption (Advanced Encryption Standard).

As with all online transactions you should take care when entering your information and follow reasonable security measure with your personal information.

A unique feature of the crypto coin system is that all transactions where funds move from one wallet to another are publicly visible in a public ledger that forms the basis of the Cryptocurrency system – called the blockchain.

Are cryptocurrencies legal?

Yes. There is currently no legal restriction for merchants to accept payments in Cryptocurrencies in the UK, Ireland or the EU.

HMRC have issued guidance to companies on how to handle, record and tax crypto transactions, and operations which K9 Rescue will comply with. More details on HMRC guidance are available here.
