Selling metal first and giving the cash means taxes take a bite before your ministry ever sees it. Giving the metal directly — through our partnership with Alloy Markets — is one way to give more without giving more. Fully insured shipping, expert evaluation, and fast turnaround into your ministry fund.
A VC-backed firm built specifically to solve the shipping, insuring, and valuing of precious metals — handling that relationship directly with you, the donor, from pickup to payout.

Tell Alloy what you're giving and which ministry fund should receive it. A personal advisor follows up directly.
Alloy provides an insured shipping label — or, for larger gifts, can arrange in-person pickup.
Once evaluated and sold, proceeds (less the Ministry Grant) are sent to your donor-advised fund, and we issue your contribution receipt and any required IRS Form 8282.
Both — and jewelry too. We accept gold, silver, platinum, and palladium in coin, bar, or jewelry form. Metals are picked up through fully insured, free-shipping intake in partnership with Alloy Markets, so you're never out of pocket for transit and never without a paper trail on custody.
Metals are valued at spot price on the date of transfer, with WTI's Ministry Grant coming off the top at 4–5% below spot rather than a flat fee — so the more the metal is worth, the more directly your gift reflects that value.
Start directly on the Alloy intake form, or email us first — especially for a larger or unusual gift. If metals aren't the right fit after all, we'll point you toward what is.
