Ways to support our programs.
Every effictive non-profit runs on passion. Unfortunately, passion does
not pay the bills. We are a very lean organization. In 2006 we supported our efforts on a budget of
about $6000.00. In 2007, about $8000.00 of income so far. These amounts allow us to purchase new car
seats, clean our loaner seats, handle costs related to recycling, insure and operate our vehicles,
maintain our phone number, keep certifications current and print informational pieces.
This is the tip of the iceberg. If we are to grow, we will neet to raise more money. We would like
offer Bill a stipend, get office or warehouse space, reach deeper into the community and just do more.
There is so much to do and we want to do all things car seat, so your help is vital to our success.
Making a contribution on-line is a good start. Checks or money orders can be sent to the mailing address
listed on our home page. Please also consider becoming a Car Seat Angel. A car or truck can do a lot for us,
more to follow in the next paragraph, or donate all your used car seats so we can keep them from the land
fills. As a 501(c)(3), your contributions are tax deductable; please consult your tax advisor for details.
Also look into corporate matching of contributions to local non-profit organizations.
The general topic of vehicle donations often brings to mind radio or TV ads for local public radio or TV.
Though these are great ways to move a vehicle out of the drive way, there are other ways you and a local
non-profit can benefit from a donated vehicle. Individual tax situations not withstanding, we are strong
believers in putting driveable vehicles back on the road and not sending them to the auction, crusher or
junk yard. If you have a vehicle that would like to get full value for and not the scrap value, please
contact us for details. Every vehicle deserves a next life and we have many families who need transportation.
Through the end of January 2008, Google is processing credit card contributions for free. Use the Google Checkout
button and know that we pay no processing fee, so we get all the benefit of your contribution. Thank you!
