Please remember with fundraising:
a) a min. donation of $20 is required for FoHC to issue a tax receipt
b) all donor information must be included with the donation (please see the file below for a copy of what needs to be
included- this can be done as a slip with the donation or printed directly onto donation envelopes)
c) CASH or CHEQUES made out to Friends of Honduran Children
d) CREDIT CARD donations can be made through the FoHC website but a small fee is charged to FoHC for this service and
deducted from the donation and you must notify Julia or FoHC to direct the donation to our brigade or it will simply go
into general fundraising
e) Donations need to be given to Julia who tracks all the money and makes deposits with FoHC into our brigade account
