You can now donate stock to help us make autonomous floating communities at sea a reality using our new stock donation form. Our goal is to raise $400,000 by the end of 2024. We accept donations in publicly traded, domestic common stocks. Donating stock is also one of the most tax-efficient ways for individuals to support causes that matter to them.
Your donation will help us create a legal and safe path for seasteads so that seasteading entrepreneurs won’t be tied up navigating complicated regulatory and flagging processes, instead they can focus on building sustainable floating structures.
How can I donate stock to The Seasteading Institute?
Donating stock is safe and easy. Using the donation form on this page, making a charitable gift of stock is a quick, five-step process:
- Select your stock ticker and confirm the company name in the donation form
- Enter your gift amount
- Type in your email and address info for the receipt
- Enter your brokerage account information
- Virtually sign & make your gift!
Upon making a donation, you will receive an email notification from The Giving Block that your gift is being processed. In some circumstances, you may need to take action with your broker. The email will have instructions on any next steps.
Charitable donations of stock are processed safely and typically within 6-8 business days with The Giving Block in partnership with Renaissance Charitable Foundation. Processing times can be longer during December or when dealing with restricted stock.
Which stocks do we accept?
We currently accept publicly traded, domestic common stock.
We are continually in the process of adding support for new assets to donate, so please check back soon for more giving options.
Are stock donations tax-deductible?
Yes! Stock donations are one of the most tax-efficient ways to give to charity. Your stock donation is tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law; if you pay taxes in the U.S. By making a charitable gift, you may also be eligible to significantly reduce what you would otherwise owe in capital gains taxes.
As with any tax-related questions, be sure to consult with a qualified, professional tax advisor.
