Letter from OJM clarification

Some of you may have received, or might receive, a letter from OJM about tax deductions.  I've had a few phone calls from people concerned that we were going to lose donations that were made specifically for Dasha.  Let me assure you, this is NOT the case!

I spoke with Kyle (Exec. Dir) last night to get complete clarification.  You have 3 options according to the letter.

1. Reply in a letter/email specifying that you want your donation JUST for Dasha, in which case it will NOT be tax deductible.  This is according to the IRS. (Someone brought up the question of whether or not Al and I would have to count this as income...we DO NOT)

2. DEFAULT OPTION  you do not reply, your donation is considered a general donation to OJM, and therefore IS tax deductible. Your donation WILL benefit             Dasha's adoption fund, and we will not lose any money from her account.  This basically states that should her adoption end up totaling less than what we've raised    (don't worry, a miracle won't even let that happen:) then whatever is left over will be kept in OJM to be used for their mission..which is a fantastic one I might add:)

3. You request that your donation is returned.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me:)

Thanks!!
