Tax benefits
The IRS classifies cryptocurrencies as property, so cryptocurrency donations to 501(c)3 charities receive the same tax treatment as stocks. Donating cryptocurrency is a non-taxable event, meaning you do not owe capital gains tax on the appreciated amount and can deduct it on your taxes. Please contact your tax or financial advisor for more information specific to your financial situation.
Please note that The Giving Block immediately converts cryptocurrency donations into US dollars upon receiving a donation to the CCR. The CCR does not hold or invest in cryptocurrencies.
Fathom the Mind. Heal the World.
In the spirit of radical empiricism, while challenging unquestioned assumptions, we seek to discover the deepest sources of mental health, well-being, and environmental flourishing, grounded in ancient principles of nonviolence and compassion.
And to share that knowledge with our world.
B. Alan Wallace, PhD
Founder and President of
the Center for Contemplative Research
Combining a rigorous scientific and empirical ethos with the mind-training and wisdom technologies honed by contemplative traditions, CCR’s investigations engage the following vectors:
EXPERIENTIAL
Highly-trained contemplatives engage in full-time retreat practice, training the heart and mind, and emerging practically empowered to apply the insights gleaned from foundational mental balance to their real-world engagements.
SCIENTIFIC
Scientists conduct rigorous, novel research into the impacts of such practices and the nature of consciousness itself. Initial studies, already underway, will inform further scientific research, in the domains of cognitive science, neurophenomenology, physics, and beyond.
APPLIED
Far from staying confined to the world of practitioners in a hermitage, contemplative and scientific insights will facilitate the development of fruitful interventions for educational, medical/psychological, business, and civic protocols aimed at allowing proven methodologies for wisdom and well-being to inform practical decision-making in the real world.
DIALOGIC
CCR will foster interdisciplinary, intercontemplative, and interreligious dialogue around the shared relevance of contemplative practice and insights to support the unique flourishing of such inquiry across the world’s diverse traditions.
