Frequently Asked Questions
-
Thank you so much for your interest in supporting our mission. We truly appreciate your generosity.
At this time, donations made to our organization are not tax-deductible because we are organized as a for-profit business rather than a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. While your contribution directly supports the development of our programs, equipment, and community initiatives, the IRS does not allow charitable tax deductions for contributions made to for-profit businesses.
We are incredibly grateful for your support, and every contribution helps us create meaningful opportunities for children and families in our community. If our tax status changes in the future, we will be sure to communicate any updates regarding tax-deductible giving.
