Sign Up to Accept Crypto & Stock Donations!
To get started, sign up for our Pro or Premium plan. Then, navigate to your payment processors page to activate the integration for your account. From there, you can choose to enable either stock or crypto, or both!
When donors access your donation form (either embedded on your website or included in the Donorbox-hosted donation page), they can choose to give via the standard donation tab or the crypto and/or stock tab. When they click the crypto and/or stock tab, The Giving Block’s donation form will pop up. Donors then complete the donation by inputting the required information or by scanning or copying a QR code in case of crypto donations.
For crypto donations, donors will receive a receipt from The Giving Block. For donations of stock, donors will receive a receipt from Modern Philanthropy Foundation once the shares have been received and liquidated.
All donations made via cryptocurrency and stock will be sent to you once a month via ACH from Modern Philanthropy Foundation, The Giving Block’s distribution partner.
To receive your donations, you must first register with Aplos, Modern Philanthropy Foundation’s distribution software. Donorbox will send you instructions to do so once you receive your first crypto or stock donation. Once you set up you ACH details, you’ll receive all crypto and stock donations by the 7th business day of the following month.
Nonprofits will also get automated notifications from Donorbox whenever crypto and stock donations are made.
This Donorbox integration is only available to U.S. nonprofit organizations with a verified EIN. To be able to activate crypto and stock donations, you’ll need to add your logo, EIN, and address to Donorbox, and ensure your plan is either Pro or Premium.
Your crypto and stock donations will be charged a processing fee of 3.95% by The Giving Block.
Rest assured it is one of the lowest fees in the market – we want to ensure organizations get to make the most of their crucial donations!

Once you’ve logged in to Donorbox, navigate to the Payment Processors page. From there, you’ll see the option to enable the integration and you can also choose which type of donations you’d like to enable.
Once you’ve enabled crypto and stock donations on your Payment Processors page, you’ll need to enable it for any campaigns you wish to use to accept those types of gifts.
On your campaign dashboard, click “Edit Campaign” in the top right corner. Then, click “Edit Form” and navigate to the “Amounts” page.
From the “Amounts” page, locate the Crypto and Stock option and enable it. You can disable it at any time. Note that this toggle controls whether the integration appears on your form or not. To choose either stock or crypto donations, you’ll need to return to the toggles on the Payment Processors page.
That’s it! You’re now ready to bring in more donations with easy crypto and stock gifts.
As donors access your newly customized donation form (on your website or your Donorbox-hosted donation page), they’ll see two options to donate. “Standard Donation” allows them to check out using cards and digital wallets. Depending on which type of giving you have enabled, the other option shows any stock or crypto giving availability you’ve enabled for your campaign.
Once a donor selects the other tab to give crypto and/or stock, this is what they’ll see:
Donors then complete their crypto or stock donation on this form by following the simple steps provided.
Empower Donors to Make Crypto & Stock Donations
Donors select their crypto type and enter the donation amount.
Next, they have the choice to donate anonymously or input their personal information.
If a donor chooses to donate anonymously, they are asked if they want a receipt for tax benefits. Their contact email is only used to send this receipt.
Finally, donors receive a QR code and a hex code. They either scan the QR code or copy the hex code to donate cryptocurrency from the crypto wallet of their choice.
To make a gift of stock, donors select their Stock Ticker Symbol and Stock Name before inputting their share quantity.
The equivalent dollar value is shown to the donor – the minimum dollar value for stock donations through this integration is $500.
Next, they provide personal information such as name, email, phone number, and address.
Finally, donors input broker information to complete the donation.
Donors receive an automated email receipt from The Giving Block when they make a crypto donation. For stock donations, receipts are only sent once the shares have been received and liquidated at Modern Philanthropy Foundation.
