Active Cause Expands Crypto Philanthropy Infrastructure Through Endaoment Digital Asset Integration
By Active Cause Editorial Team
New York, NY – August 12, 2025
Active Cause has partnered with Endaoment, a next-generation donor-advised fund platform built on blockchain technology, to enable members to donate cryptocurrency, stocks, and other digital assets seamlessly.
The partnership embeds charitable giving options directly into Active Cause’s membership platform, making it easier for athletes, artists, and entertainers to support causes using the full range of their assets.
Endaoment is a 501(c)(3) community foundation providing donor-advised funds through an onchain platform that accepts cash, stocks, cryptocurrency, NFTs, and other digital assets. The partnership addresses a critical barrier: creatives with wealth held in crypto and non-traditional assets have struggled to find philanthropic infrastructure that accepts these holdings without complex liquidation processes.
“Our partnership with Endaoment gives members access to a modern platform that makes giving easier, faster, and more transparent,” said Yonis Hassan, Co-Founder and CEO of Active Cause. “
Why Crypto Matters for Creative Philanthropists
Many athletes, musicians, and creators hold significant wealth in cryptocurrency and digital assets, either from direct investment, NFT sales, brand partnerships, or tokenized royalty streams.
Traditional donor-advised fund sponsors typically don’t accept crypto donations, forcing holders to liquidate assets (triggering capital gains taxes) before contributing to charitable funds.
Endaoment’s blockchain-based platform accepts donations in original token form, creating immediate benefits: the granted amount equals present market value with no tax on the sale, and the potential tax deduction equals the full market value of the donation.
“Active Cause is leading a cultural shift in philanthropy by centering creatives, athletes, and entertainers,” said Robbie Heeger, President and CEO of Endaoment. “We’re proud to provide the technology and infrastructure that allows their members to give seamlessly and confidently, while tracking their impact in real time.”
What’s Next
The partnership is live immediately, with Endaoment integration available through the Active Cause membership platform. Members can establish new donor-advised funds or migrate existing funds to access crypto donation capabilities.
