You can now donate cryptocurrency to the High Desert Museum!
Your generous support continues to inspire exhibitions, programs, wildlife encounters and art that connect visitors to the natural beauty and human ecology of the High Desert region. Your donation helps educate future generations with unforgettable learning experiences that are not available anywhere else.
Donating cryptocurrency is a nontaxable event, meaning you do not owe capital gains tax on the appreciated amount and can deduct it on your taxes. This makes Bitcoin, Ethereum and other cryptocurrency donations one of the most tax efficient ways to support the High Desert Museum.
