Support the Cause and Make a Difference

There are several convenient ways to make your charitable donations.

Cawayne Barton Foundation accepts several forms of donations, namely time, money, and items. Through the efforts of volunteers like yourself. We believe that volunteering is a worthy way to contribute to the community and can be just as valuable as cash donations. “Donate your time” to help out mentoring, lecturing, teaching, or community project saving the cost of work that helps the community. Register with the skills registry and share your talents with someone in need.

“Donate your supplies” we accept donated goods, including tools, clothes, shoes, furniture, and cars. If you have some stuff to get rid of, consider giving it to a good cause rather than throwing it out.

“Donate your money” cash donations are qualified as tax-deductible expenses that can reduce your taxable income and lower your tax bill.

Cash donations of less than $250, requires a canceled check or a receipt from the foundation, with the amount and the date of the contribution. However, contributions of more than $250 require written documentation from the foundation.

Your tax benefits will depend on several factors, including the type of gift, whether it is outright or deferred, or has any income payments. Outright gifts generate a charitable deduction generally based on their fair market value, less the fair market value of any goods/services received (e.g., the value of a meal at a fundraising event.)

The deductibility of charitable contributions is one of the more important incentives for donors.

The IRS rules on donors of charitable contributions and disclosure rules on charities that receive certain quid pro quo contributions.

Donors must have a bank record or written communication from a charity for any monetary contribution before the donors can claim a charitable contribution on their federal income tax returns. Donors are responsible for obtaining a written acknowledgment from a charity for any single contribution of $250 or more before the donors can claim a charitable contribution on their federal income tax returns. Charitable organizations are required to provide a written disclosure to a donor who receives goods or services in exchange for a single payment in excess of $75.
