What’s the simplest way to natively donate crypto to a charity?

I used the giving block because they gave good receipts I could use for matching when I was at Google. It's not the simplest, but I'd recommend people making larger donations to use a DAF or set up a foundation.

Dark Emergency Room humor innit!

A DAF lets you take a large deduction in the year you donate to it, and then distribute to charities over the years. So you can optimize to itemize your deductions the year you donate to it (e.g. after selling your huge degen airdrop) and go back to the standard deduction in future years while donating from the DAF

Oh for the deduction you need a receipt from the charity. If you use the giving block, they provide a receipt and you can also get one from the charity. If you use a DAF, the DAF would provide the receipt. But you don't have to include it with your return IIRC, it's for if you get audited.

So when you file a return do you include your wallet ID/transaction history to provide proof/verification?

Thank you for explaining, this is all so interesting! 10 $degen

I thought Fidelity and Schwab both supported it; at least Bitcoin and eth, but there's also this on the giving block website: https://thegivingblock.com/updates/partners/the-giving-block-and-renpsg-announce-partnership/. Unfortunately I don't have first-hand experience here

I like walking around the city or out in nature 🌲

I’ve done the DAF route via Fidelity to donate stock; pretty easy setup. Are you aware of any easy ways (“one stop shop”) to set up a crypto DAF?
