DONATION FORM

 

Your contribution/donation is tax-deductible, asThe Rebozo Way Project has now been approved bythe IRS as a not for profit 501(c)3 organization. For donations of $200 or more, or by special request, an receipt will be sent when we receive the donation, and you may get another receipt before the end of the year, in December 2008.

When you donate the funds for part or all of an item listed below, or dontate the specific item that we need, we will put your name and the amount contributed unless you advise us not to. In this way you will know exactly where your contributed funds are going. If you want to give general support, we also appreciate that; we will apply it to the highest priorities we have (see below), which may be unforseen expenses not currently on our list. We are happy to tell you how we spend any funds that you donate, and to explain in more detail about any of the expenses listed below, before or after you donate.

Although past donors are listed on the right, many of the needs they have supported need to be renewed or are not yet complete. Just because a name is listed on the right, it does not mean that there is not still a need, especially if the dates are old. Not all donors are on this list.

Thanks to our supporters and donors, in early 2008 we have been able to pay basic operating expenses, order educational materials that help to promote our mission, and most importantly, work on our Rebozo Way Video/DVD, so that we now have a professional, informative product that is full of photos and video of babywearers in indigenous and industrial cultures, rebozo wearing demonstrations, and general information about the importance of in-arms parenting.. We continue to connect with and offer ideas, resources, and compassionate listening with a wide variety of people around the globe.

Many thanks to all of you who make it possible to continue the work of the Rebozo Way Project.
