How to Give Stocks and Crypto

A walkthrough of how to give a donation of Stocks or Crypto.

 Some churches and nonprofits allow you to give non-cash gifts, such as stock or cryptocurrency, through their My Well giving page.

If your organization has enabled these options, you’ll see Stocks and/or Crypto as giving options in addition to standard Bank/Card giving.

Before You Begin

To give stock or crypto, you’ll need to be signed in to your My Well account.

For stock gifts, you’ll also need a complete U.S. mailing address saved on your profile, including:

  • Street address
  • City
  • State
  • ZIP code

If your address is missing, My Well will ask you to update your profile before continuing.

 

Giving Stock

  1. Open the Giving Page

  2. Select Stocks as your giving method.

  3. Enter Your Stock Gift Details

You’ll be asked to provide:

      • The stock ticker symbol

      • The number of shares you want to give

      • The fund or designation for your gift

 

Note: Stock gifts must be made in whole shares. Fractional shares are not supported.

4. After entering your gift details, review the information carefully and submit the gift. My Well will create a pending stock gift and provide transfer instructions.

5. After submitting your gift, follow the stock transfer instructions provided on screen.

You may need to work with your broker, brokerage website, or financial advisor to initiate the transfer.

Your gift is not complete until the stock transfer is received and processed.

Note: Your stock gift will initially show as pending.

It will remain pending while the stock transfer is being processed. Once the gift is completed, the final value will be updated based on the completed transfer.

 

Giving Crypto

  1. Open the Giving Page.

  2. Select Crypto as your giving method.

  3. Enter Your Crypto Gift Details

You’ll be asked to provide:

      • The cryptocurrency you want to give

      • The amount you want to give

      • The fund or designation for your gift

4. After entering your gift details, review the information carefully and submit the gift. My Well will create a pending crypto gift and provide transfer instructions.

5. After submitting your gift, you’ll receive:

    • A wallet address
    • A QR code, when available
    • Transfer instructions
    • A destination tag, if required for that cryptocurrency

Important: Send only the selected cryptocurrency using the correct network. Sending a different asset or using the wrong network may result in permanent loss of funds.

If a destination tag is shown, you must include it with your transfer.

6. Your crypto gift will initially show as pending. It will be completed after the transfer is confirmed on the blockchain and processed.

Receipts and Tax Notes

You may receive confirmation when the gift is initiated and additional updates as the gift is processed.

For tax purposes:

  • Stock gifts are generally considered made when the shares are received, not when the transfer is initiated.
  • Crypto gifts are generally considered made when the transfer is confirmed on the blockchain.
  • Final gift value may be based on the completed transfer and processing details.

Please consult a tax professional for advice about your specific gift.
