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.
Please make sure you make your check payable to: “Tides Foundation” and in
the memo section of your check write: “Zahana Fund”,
to ensure it gets into our account.
Send it in by mail:

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
Box 62223
Honolulu HI 96839
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.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
