Maximize your impact as a donor

Our work at the Calyx Institute to protect privacy and advance connectivity is not possible without your support. And the impact of your giving can increase exponentially through strategic actions. By asking your employer to match your donations or making tax-deductible donations, you can make your contributions tremendously effective.

Employer-matching donations

You can double the impact of your donation by searching to see if your employer will match your contribution to Calyx. If you are eligible for a donation match, this simple step can help make your contribution even more impactful and takes us even closer to making our nonprofit mission a reality.

Tax-deductible donations

Calyx is a public charity, which means it is exempt from taxation by the IRS under §501(c)(3), and as such, charitable contributions are tax-deductible, to the extent provided by law. Our IRS determination letter can be found here.

Understanding the tax-deductible portion of your Calyx membership

A portion of your Calyx membership contribution may be tax-deductible. Your receipt will list the fair market value of your membership, and the amount that is estimated to be tax-deductible. The fair market value is equivalent to the value of the membership benefits that you receive and the remainder is estimated to be a charitable contribution that is tax-deductible. Please consult your tax or legal advisor to learn how this information might apply to your own situation.

Please keep in mind, most contributions in cryptocurrency are not tax-deductible. If you would like to make a contribution in cryptocurrency that is tax-deductible, you can contact our help desk.
