Tax Deduction Information
The Alliance for Children Foundation
is an IRS-approved tax-exempt 501(c)(3) foundation. Your donation is
tax deductible and will be gratefully acknowledged with an IRS receipt
letter for your files.
Greatest Need Program
Often, unfortunately, tragedy strikes
an area of the world where Alliance has waiting children in need of
immediate attention. Therefore, funds donated to the Greatest Need program
will be distributed per discretion of executive director Filis Casey.
The Family Fund
Through a generous gift by an adoptive parent,
the Family Fund subsidizes adoptions for children with special needs,
older children, and/or sibling groups. The Family Fund makes adoptions
possible for families who are willing and able to care for these children
but could not otherwise afford to pay full adoption costs. In 2004,
we contributed $53,150 to help seven children from Russia and six Ecuadorian
children find their way to loving homes. Please consider donating to
this special fund to help those children who are still waiting for their
forever families.
Use of Donations
You can browse through the Alliance
For Children Foundation web site to see how our donated funds are
spent. There are photos of the orphans who have been helped by our adoptive
families' donations, along with project reports and receipts, and letters
from the children and orphanages. Additional information will be added
for each project as it becomes available.
Matching Gifts
All costs for these projects have
been carefully verified and we are very proud of our ability to keep
costs low, while taking effective action to save lives. To make the
most of your gift, please check to see if your employer offers a matching
gift. There are over 7,500 corporations in the USA that will match a
charitable donation made by one of their employees. If you would like
to know if your company has a Matching Gift Program, please call or
email Bonnie at Alliance For Children offices, (781) 431-7148 or bonnie@allforchildren.org
“For Lily, being Chinese is part of who she is,
but not the first adjective she uses when describing herself. When her
first-grade teacher posed the question, ‘What makes you special?’
Lily wrote, ‘I am sweet, I make mama laugh, I am a good paintest
(an artist who paints, obviously), and of course, I’m Chinese.’”
