📈 Maximize Your Gift

• Many employers offer matching gifts, doubling or even tripling your donation. Some match contributions up to a year after they’re made.
• When donating via PayPal, consider covering the small processing fee to make the most of your gift toward the project.

📄 Tax Receipts

• In compliance with IRS rules, tax receipts are issued for the amount TFC receives after payment processor fees are deducted.
• PDF tax receipts are emailed within 30 days of your online donation.
• The “receipt” immediately sent by PayPal is only a payment confirmation — it is not your tax receipt.
