The Tennessee Aquarium has partnered with The Giving Block to accept donations of stock, crypto and gifts through Donor Advised Funds (DAFs).

Donate Cryptocurrency

Making a crypto donation to the Tennessee Aquarium supports our mission to connect people with nature and empower them to make informed decisions about water and wildlife.

We accept donations in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and over 100 additional leading cryptocurrencies.

Give from your Donor-Advised Fund (DAF)

Donating from your Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a smart and impactful way to give to the Tennessee Aquarium. There are many benefits of giving through a donor-advised fund:

  1. Strategic and Flexible Giving: Support charities over time while enjoying immediate tax benefits, with the flexibility to distribute funds later.
  2. Family Involvement: Engage family members in charitable decision-making and pass on philanthropic values.
  3. Legacy Building: Establish a lasting charitable legacy by consolidating your giving into one fund.
  4. Maximize Tax Benefits: Optimize tax deductions by donating assets like stock, crypto or real estate and bundling contributions to exceed standard deductions.
