FAQs
Giving
1. Is my gift tax-deductible? Yes. SIFAT is a 501(c)(3) organization, registered with the IRS to receive tax-deductible donations. Each month you contribute, you will receive a receipt for tax purposes.
2. May I specify how my gift is used? Yes, you may specify that you are contributing to a specific project or program that SIFAT supports. To make sure you are correctly designating a project, please contact accounting@sifat.org. If gifts are not marked specifically for a project or the project’s needs have been met, your gift will be applied where it is most needed.
3. Why are unrestricted gifts so important? These gifts give SIFAT the ability to use resources where needs are greatest. Unrestricted giving allows for flexibility to meet those needs. All of your gifts are important to us and used to help share God’s love in practical ways.
4. How do I make a matching gift? Many employers match the gifts their employees make to charitable organizations, doubling your gift or more. Check with your company’s human resources office to see if they match your gift and encourage them to do so.
