Pura
Vida strives to keep overhead expenses as low as possible. You can be assured
that all donations received go directly to the project specified, and will be
receipted promptly.
Receipting
of Donations Pura
Vida receipts all donations in accordance with IRS guidelines. Individual donations
of $250 or more are receipted immediately; all other donations are receipted annually.
Due to the dynamic nature of work trips, payments made towards work trips will
be receipted annually. Annual receipts will be delivered by no later than January
31 of the year following the date the donation was received and deposited. Credit
card donations made through Network
for Good will be receipted via email by that organization.
Per IRS regulations, Pura Vida receipts noncash contributions with a description
(but not the value) of those contributions. For noncash donations worth more than
$500, you must complete IRS
Form 8283 and deliver it to Pura Vida with the donated item(s) for an acknowledging
signature.
