An experienced finance and real estate development professional, Bradley DiTeresi works with a firm that builds condominiums in Peru. In addition to his professional endeavors, Bradley DiTeresi is a longtime supporter of the Lupus Foundation of America.

The Lupus Foundation of America (LFA) recently began to accept cryptocurrency donations in an effort to make it easier for investors in that sector to support the organization’s mission. In addition to Bitcoin and Ethereum, the LFA will also now accept donations in the form of Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, and Ethereum Classic. This offers a unique opportunity for charitable giving among cryptocurrency investors, as the International Revenue Service recognizes these currencies as part of the investor’s property, which means making gifts using them are completely tax deductible.
In his comments, LFA president and chief executive officer Stevan W. Gibson said he understood the potential that opening up this avenue of giving represents for both his organization and crypto investors. He also said the LFA will look to accept more cryptocurrencies in the future. Visit www. Lupus.org to learn more or to donate cryptocurrency via the organization’s secure online-giving portal.
