We Asked. You Responded. Thank you!
Last month, we began giving you the option of covering credit card processing fees by adding 3% to your donation. Close to half of you opted in. Your generosity in these first weeks already funded three campers to attend Camp Happy Times this summer!
A shout out to all of you who are fundraising for The Valerie Fund on social media! We can provide you a link so that 100% of the donations go to work for The Valerie Fund kids and your donors will receive an appropriate acknowledgement. When you donate or fundraise through enticing 3rd party fundraising platforms, a chunk of your donation goes to fees and the donor is invisible to us, so we can't say thank you!
Reduce your tax burden! Remember: The most cost-effective way for you to make a donation may be to donate appreciated stock. You may pay no capital gains and get the benefit of a larger tax deduction based on the stock's current value! A win-win for you and for The Valerie Fund!
Are you over 70 ½? If you are, you can donate up to $100,000 from your IRA tax free!
