Frequently Asked Questions

Are you a 501(c)(3) charity?
Yes.  We received our determination letter from the IRS stating we are a 501(c)(3) on September 12, 2022 with and effective date of August 11, 2022.  We are classified under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) as a Public Charity.  We are able to receive tax deductible bequests, devices, transfers, or gifts under Section 2055, 2106 or 2155.

​

Is my donation tax deductible?

The short answer is yes.  The longer answer is that you should consult with your own tax professional in regards to this.

​

Will any of my donation be used out of state?

We are a Minnesota based charity and support only programs or underprivileged individuals inside Minnesota. We do not send funds or support out of state.

​

How much of my donation goes to helping others?

We take great pride in keeping our operating costs as low as possible.  We want every penny to go to those in need.  We are 100% volunteer.  No one involved with this charity takes a single cent for compensation.  Since this is our first year, we do have some operational costs that are necessary.  Because of this, we currently maintain a low 15% overhead meaning that 85% of what you donate goes directly to helping others.
