This also provides incredible tax benefits to our crypto donors”. PVAMF will be joined in crypto fundraising efforts this #BagSeason by its partner, The Giving Block, which provides technological solutions and support to charities that want to accept cryptocurrency donations. #BagSeason is the annual fundraising season that runs throughout the month of December and aims to highlight the nonprofits that accept crypto and inspire crypto HODLers to #GiveCrypto to charitable causes before the end of the calendar year. Supporters can donate crypto to PVAMU at: www.pvamf.org/crypto-currency . For more information, contact Megan Reed at megan.reed@pvamf.org or 281.249.5363.
