Our green commitment to maintaining a carbon-neutral offering.
CarbonX Canada, in collaboration with its partner CCRI (Crypto Carbon Rating Institute), determines the average carbon emission for a donation of cryptocurrency by coin type. This data allows us to purchase the required carbon credit to offset this emission and ensure carbon neutrality. We are grateful to CarbonX for generously donating carbon credits that will offset the first 100 tonnes of carbon emissions resulting from cryptocurrency donations through CanadaHelps.

A cryptocurrency donation allows you to donate a cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin or Ether to the charity (or charities) of your choice. This donation is promptly converted into cash and is eligible for an instant charitable tax receipt.
At this time, CanadaHelps only accepts Bitcoin or Ether cryptocurrency donations. These represent the vast majority of cryptocurrencies and are highly liquid and therefore can be exchanged for Canadian dollars easily. In the future, we may accept other forms of cryptocurrency donations.
We promptly sell all cryptocurrency transferred to CanadaHelps into Canadian dollars so we can issue a charitable tax receipt to the donor and disburse the proceeds in cash to the recipient charity or charities according to our standard disbursement policies.
