Benefits of Donating
Where Do My Donations Go
Besides the smiles, tears, and thank you's brought forth from the recipients of the care packages, donations are beneficial for their tax deductibility. We are a Public Charity under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 501©3. That means individual donors may deduct contributions they make under IRC Section 170. As well, businesses may deduct donations. A tax deductible receipt is mailed after December 31 of each year in the name the donation was sent from and is deductible to the fullest extent of the law. But please get specific information from your tax advisor.
We are also qualified to receive non-monetary, tax deductible bequests, devises, transfers, and gifts under IRC sections 2055, 2106 and 2522.
