crypto for conservation

Your support helps secure critical ecosystems in Africa, before they are lost forever.


crypto for conservation: leaving a natural legacy

In the heart of Kenya, exists an incredible wild space called Suyian - with open savannas, forested valleys, striking rock formations and a great meandering river and the full range of Africa’s iconic wildlife.  It is part of a critical landscape that if not protected now, risks being lost forever to the pressures of unsustainable agriculture, cattle farming, extraction of energy and protein in the form of wood and endangered species. And with it, we lose a:

  • critical corridor for elephants to move through, 

  • the biodiversity of the entire system, 

  • jobs and income for families and, 

  • one of the few last intact wild carbon sinks to help combat climate change.

But we are not losing hope. In the next six months, we have the opportunity to acquire this private conservancy for $12.5 million and ensure it stays as a natural asset in perpetuity. We have the plan and the local partners to manage this 40,000 acre habitat as a model of good conservation - where people and animals coexist and generate value from an intact ecosystem.

We invite you to be part of a pioneering effort to fund this conservation area through cryptocurrency donations - a powerful demonstration of the positive power of crypto which will help create a legacy that will last for generations.  We also welcome you to visit Laikipia and experience first hand the impact that a small group of people can have in writing a new narrative for nature conservation. While the virtual experience can be amazing - nothing compares to the deep rumbling of a lion roar, snorting hippos, elephants chewing, a cold drink around a fire on safari, endless savannahs and night skies ablaze with stars. 

But we are racing against time!  We need to raise the funds before the end of March 2022 to complete the sale and begin implementing our plans.  

why crypto for conservation?

As a form of global exchange, cryptocurrency seems particularly suited for the complex global problems of climate change and biodiversity loss. Cryptocurrency is also welcomed in Africa where non-traditional money exchange systems have long flourished and cryptocurrency is widely used. 

As a nonprofit, Space for Giants will immediately convert cryptocurrency donations into cash. Those funds will be used to purchase Suyian Ranch as conservation land and assume full management responsibility for ensure it is a safe from poaching, a source of pride and value for local communities and stakeholders.

Save on your U.S. taxes by donating crypto

Why donate Crypto directly? Taxes!

There’s a reason high net worth individuals tend to donate property instead of cash. The IRS classifies cryptocurrency as property for tax purposes which means it is typically the most tax efficient way to support your favorite cause. When donating crypto, U.S. taxpayers receive a tax deduction for the fair market value of the crypto, and you avoid the capital gains tax you would have incurred if you had sold the crypto and then made a donation. That means you’re able to donate more, as well as deduct more on your tax return. The difference? Sometimes more than 30 percent.

If you provide an email, you will automatically receive a tax receipt for your donation.
