Your help as a volunteer will enable Pine Woods to meet its goals earlier.
There are many committee positions open. Please contact
us if you are interested in working on a committee.
Because Pine Woods Retreat is a non-profit, Section 501(c)(3)
organization (EIN 58-2631892), all donations are tax-exempt as allowable
by law. Contributions from visionary donors have enabled us to hire
an award winning architectural firm to design the space and facilities
that will serve Pine Woods into the future. The cost of land, construction
and staffing have been carefully calculated so that the initial fundraising
efforts will adequately meet all initial needs. Start-up costs include
all hiring and training of personnel. Wages have been established above
the local market rates to enable Pine Woods to recruit and retain excellent
staff.
Every gift, no matter its size, helps Pine Woods Retreat
reach its goals. There are numerous ways you can help Pine Woods financially.
- Send a check or money order payable to "Pine
Woods Retreat" to:
Pine Woods Retreat
PO Box 13777
Savannah, GA 31416-0777.
Please note on your check if your gift is "In Honor of" or "In
Memory of" anyone you designate. All contributions are
recognized in the Pine Woods Retreat Annual Report.
- Please contact
us for additional instructions if you wish to make a
gift of securities.
- Our Planned Giving Program enables you to help
Pine Woods Retreat as part of your tax planning. If you are
reviewing your estate or tax matters with your attorney or
accountant, you may have them contact Pine Woods to discuss
how helping Pine Woods can reduce your taxes.
- You may donate on-line using your credit card
at Network
for Good. This organization charges us a very small processing
fee and will ask you to consider a gift to them. Our fee covers
their costs. You are under no obligation to make an additional
gift and it will not increase your gift to us.
- Pine Woods is registered with
Buy
for Charity and the iGive
Shopping Network. Both of these programs offer special
sales and discount pricing from over 500 popular internet
shopping sites. When you register with these sites, you can
select Pine Woods Retreat as your charity of choice. A percentage
of all of your purchases will be donated to Pine Woods. Yes,
it's a gimmick, but they seem to work without generating
spam and every contribution helps. Each site has privacy
policies you will want to review.
- Pine Woods is registered with Wireless
Fundraiser.com. This organization recycles old cell phones.
You can request a postage prepaid mailing envelope from them
and send in your old cell phones knowing that both the environment
and Pine Woods will benefit from proper disposal of useless
cell phones.
- There are naming opportunities available for
Buildings, Rooms and other facilities at Pine Woods Retreat.
If you are interested in a gift of over $5,000 to the Capital
Campaign, we will find something appropriate to name in your
honor.
- With the GivingExpressSM
program, giving has never been so easy or rewarding
Give to your favorite charity by donating with your American
Express Card. Donations can be made in dollars or Membership
Rewards® points. Your dollar donation is tax
deductible and you will receive an e-mail receipt that meets IRS
requirements as a record of your contribution. The site also
enables you to set up recurring donations to your favorite
charity. Plus, you can earn one Membership Rewards point for
virtually every dollar you donate on an eligible, enrolled Card.
Visit
www.americanexpress.com/give for more information
* To be eligible to earn bonus points, you
must be enrolled in the Membership Rewards program at the time
of the donation and must charge your purchase on an eligible,
enrolled American Express® Card. Terms and conditions of the
Membership Rewards program apply. For more information visit
www.americanexpress.com/rewards. Donation of Membership Rewards
points are not tax deductible.
Please note: American Express will deduct a transaction
fee of 2.25% from your donation to cover processing costs. The
charities will receive your donation amount, minus the 2.25%
American Express processing fee, from our partner JustGive. This
transaction fee is similar to or less than the processing fee
the charity would pay if you were to charge your donation with
your American Express Card through any other means (i.e., over
the phone to the charity, through the charity's website, etc.).
You will not be charged any additional fees for using the GivingExpressSM
program, and the full amount of your donation is 100%
tax-deductible.
