Continuum Announces Capability to Accept Cryptocurrencies Donations

NEW HAVEN, CT – November 29, 2021 – Today, Continuum of Care, a 501(c)3 organization whose mission is to help rebuild the lives of people who are challenged with mental illness, intellectual disability, and/or co-occurring substance use disorder is excited to announce that it has started accepting donations in the following cryptocurrencies:

• Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Amp (AMP), Basic Attention Token (BAT), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), ChainLink (LINK), Dai (DAI), Dogecoin (DOGE), The Graph (GRT), Gemini Dollar (GUSD), Litecoin (LTC), Storj (STORJ), UMA (UMA), Zcash (ZEC), 0x (ZRX) and 1inch (1INCH) and more!

By accepting cryptocurrencies, Continuum is offering supporters with cryptocurrency portfolios the ability to support the organization in a tax efficient way. The IRS classifies cryptocurrency donations as property, meaning they are not subject to capital gains tax and are tax deductible on the donor's tax returns.

“We are excited to join the cryptocurrency space,” said Patti Walker, President and CEO of Continuum. “We look forward to welcoming new supporters to our mission of rebuilding the lives of our community’s most vulnerable.”

Continuum will be working with The Giving Block, leaders in equipping nonprofits with the tools and techniques to effectively fundraise with cryptocurrency.
