We have had some questions on Promise 686. We have not received all the paperwork yet, but I will share what I do know. Promise 686 is a group that provides matching grants. We have been approved for a matching grant up to $4,000. What this means is anyone donating, in our name, the same amount they donate, dollar for dollar will be matched by this group. If we raise more than $4,000 that is okay. We have about 20K left in expenses. They just will only match up to the $4,000. 100% of this money will go to us, up to the maximum of our adoption expenses.
If we happend to raise more than we need, it goes into a general fund for others who will get a grant after us. Our agency also takes donations, BUT they will not match it. Promise 686 will!!
I do not have the address yet to mail donations to, I am told it will take up to 2 weeks to get all the paperwork. But I have been told that a check can be made out to Promises 686 with our name in the memo line and that it can be given to us and then once we have all the paperwork, it is fine that we forward it to them. They will then send the person who donated a tax deductible receipt. They are a 501c agency.
If the donation is not desginated to us in the memo line, then it will be placed into a general fund.
I will post the address directly to Promise 686 once I receive it hopefuly early next week if you would like to send it to them directly.
This is their website if you would like more information about them.
We are very blessed that we have been approved for this.
It will help us, help Him, help him.
