The Benefits of Donating Cryptocurrency to LJI

Cryptocurrency is classified as property by the IRS (and many other tax agencies globally), therefore donating it is a non-taxable event, meaning you do not owe capital gains tax on the appreciated amount and can deduct it on your taxes. Consult a tax professional to confirm specifics.

An investment in La Jolla Institute for Immunology is an investment in Life Without Disease®.

Private support for the Institute’s research is crucial to expediting the discovery process for new therapies and vaccines for a range of diseases. Many of the necessary expertise and technologies to defeat disease, including infectious diseases like COVID-19, are already in place at the Institute. Private support enables researchers to take their research from dataset to discovery.

Since its inception 30 years ago, La Jolla Institute has solely dedicated itself to understanding the far-reaching power of the immune system because we believe that no other biomedical discipline has greater implications for human health than immunology. With 21 principal investigators across three main research centers focused on autoimmune disease research, infectious diseases and vaccine research, and cancer immunotherapy research. With invaluable contributions made to medical research throughout its history, LJI is consistently ranked among the top five immunology research centers in the world.
