Donate Cryptocurrency
Now it’s even easier to donate to REST to help offer pathways to freedom, safety, and hope for victims and survivors of sex trafficking and the sex trade.
Donating cryptocurrency is a non-taxable event, meaning you do not owe capital gains tax on the appreciated amount and can deduct the fair market value at the time of donation from your taxes. This makes Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency donations one of the most tax-efficient ways to support us.
When you donate crypto to REST, we immediately transfer your coins to fiat. Your donation will fund REST programs and services for victims and survivors of sexual exploitation.
Please note: All cryptocurrency donations made to REST are non-refundable.

We are not able to give refunds if you changed your mind, sent the wrong cryptocurrency, or made the wrong decision.
