100% Tax-Deductible Donations

We have three different methods available to facilitate your donations: credit card, cash/check, and direct bank account transfer.

1) Credit Card – Firstgiving.Com

We are using a website called Firstgiving that helps “[enable] people to raise money online for their favorite charities with a personalized online fundraising page.” Clicking that neat little button to the right of this block of text will bring you to our fundraising page where you can sponsor us as well as track our progress.

We understand that you may have concerns regarding online sponsorships. The following are some responses to the more frequently asked questions.

• Is This Donation Secure?
• Does It Cost Anything To Make A Donation?
• What Form Of Payment Can I Use To Make A Donation?
• Can I Make A Donation If I Live Outside The USA?
• Can I Get A Receipt Of My Donation?
• My Company Can Provide A Matching Gift, What Can I Do?

Tax Deduction Receipts

If you would like a tax deduction receipt for your donation, please complete the form below and send it to…

Red Thread Charities

• Tax Deduction Receipt Form (PDF)

Instructions:

• If you donated via the websites FIRSTGIVING.COM or PAYPAL.COM, please print out the receipt of your donation and include it with this form.
• If you are donating via cash or check, please include this form with your “Mail-In Donation Form” and your “Donation.”

Note:

• We expect to receive numerous donations during our period of fundraising. Because it would require too much time to process tax deduction receipts for every single donation, we are going to set our floor limit at $50.00 USD. Donations above $50.00 USD will qualify for a tax-deduction receipt! However, donations below that amount will not be eligible, again due to the processing work required. All donations, however, are very important to us, and we apologize terribly for any inconvenience this may cause. We thank you very much for your support!
