Mission Statement
The mission of the Cato Institute is to originate, disseminate, and increase understanding of public policies based on the principles of individual liberty, limited government, free markets, and peace.
Our vision is to create free, open, and civil societies founded on libertarian principles. To that end, our scholars and analysts conduct and publish independent, nonpartisan research on a wide range of policy issues across more than 14 research areas, including law and civil liberties, tax and budget policy, regulatory studies, health care and welfare, education, finance, banking and monetary policy, foreign policy and national security, trade policy, and international development.
Why Donate to Cato Institute?
Donating cryptocurrency directly to a 501c3 nonprofit is more tax efficient and can save you money. 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 cryptocurrency, you receive a tax deduction for the fair market value of the cryptocurrency, and you avoid the capital gains tax you would have incurred if you had sold the cryptocurrency and then made a donation. That means you’re able to donate more, as well as deduct more on your tax return.
