If you work for a large corporation, please consider sending in your donation with your company's "Matching Gifts Program" application. Nearly all corporations in the U.S. have such a program, where if your donation meets their minimum value to qualify (usually $25 or $50), they will match the donation dollar for dollar. Just inquire with your Human Resources Manager or look on your company's Intranet to find the paperwork. We always fill these out promptly and send a copy back to you for your records.
When you make a donation to NILMDTS, you will receive a thank you card which serves as your tax deductible receipt as well as an enclosed card which you can personalize and send to the family in whose honor the donation was made. Please allow up to four weeks to receive your acknowledgment.
