U.S. citizens – 501(c)(3) tax deductible donation
U.S. citizens
Tax paying Americans can make donations to Chipembele Wildlife Education Trust (CWET) through Philanthropic Ventures Foundation (PVF) which is a US registered 501 (c) 3 organisation that works with Generosity in Action (GIA) – another 501 (c) 3 organisation. Donors are thereby able to claim the US tax deductions. PVF’s 501 (c) 3 Tax ID is 94-3136771.
Donations can be made by credit card or PayPal over the Internet directly to PVF/Network for Good.
When you click ‘Donate Now’ below you will be redirected to the Network For Good website, which is the payment partner of the Philanthropic Ventures Foundation.
Choose the amount you wish to donate and then from the list choose Generosity in Action. You must then specify that you want funds to go to Chipembele by adding Chipembele Wildlife Education Trust to the box on the right hand side of the screen titled: ‘ Add a further designation for your gift’. This will ensure your generosity reaches us! Thank you.
Although Chipembele is not listed as a designated fund donations will still be processed by PVF and transferred to our account in Zambia – please just ensure you write ‘Chipembele Wildlife Education Trust’ in the ‘Add a further designation for your gift’ box. There is a further box at the bottom where you can specify a special purpose for the donation.
Please note there is a 3% percentage administrative fee for credit card deductions taken by Network for Good and on the remaining 97% a further 2% is taken by PVF as an administrative charge
