A End-of-the-Year tax note for 2010 (Sorry, this applies for US taxes only):

Checks mailed to us in Hawai‘i need to be postmarked by December 31, 2010 to count for the 2010 tax year’s deduction. In case we receive your check in the last minute, we will forward your check and your postmarked envelope to the Tides Foundation, as instructed by our Project manager at Tides. This is sufficient proof to make it for the tax deduction in 2010.

Please make sure all checks are made out to the “Tides Foundation”, with “Zahana fund” in the memo section.

Why write a check for Zahana to the Tides Foundation?

Zahana in Madagascar is included in the Global Support Fund at the Tides Foundation. All checks must be made out to ‘Tides Foundation’, because it is the fiscal agent that makes tax-deductible donations to Zahana possible.

More background on how this works

Making these plans for and with Fiadanana and later for other villages in Madagascar a reality will require money. This development effort will only be possible if we are able to raise the funds necessary for Zahana outside of Madagascar. Zahana therefore depends on the generosity of people like you willing to help.

A tax-deductible donation is possible in the USA, thanks to the Tides Foundation in San Francisco (www.tides.org). Zahana is included in the Tides Foundation’s Global Support Fund Global Support Fund Program. The recipients of the Global Support Fund are not listed on the Tides Foundation web site, so if you want to find out more details please email us.

If you want to support us with your a tax-deductible donation (for income tax paid in the in the USA only): All checks must be made out to ‘Tides Foundation’ with ‘Zahana Fund’ in the memo section of your check.

Donations over US$250 can be mailed to the Tides Foundation directly and will be acknowledged with a tax-deductible receipt by them. The Tides Foundation’s system is not set up to acknowledge smaller contributions than US$250 in writing, since this is not required by the IRS (for s information why click here).The mailing address is:

Tides Foundation
PO Box 29903
San Francisco CA 94129

To cut down on operating expenses for the Tides Foundation, we made an arrangement with them that smaller checks can be sent to the Zahana Project’s mailing address in Hawai‘i first. We will collect and acknowledge your checks with a letter and mail them in bulk to the Tides Foundation to be deposited. Please make sure all checks are made out to ‘Tides Foundation’ with ‘Zahana Fund’ in the memo section, regardless wich address you use. Please mail the checks to:

Project Zahana

Please note: If you send your check to the Tides Foundation directly we will not be able to acknowledge your check from our end, because we have to wait until the financial statement is available to lean about your donation, which can take a few weeks. Please contact us if you have any questions.

We are currently not able to provide tax-deductibility for donations from other countries than the USA. If you have any ideas and leads, please let us know and we will gladly work something out with you.
