On my last blog post, I discussed our progress on forming a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization called Heart for Uganda.  I’m happy to report that we have completed all the steps necessary to file the for our 501(c)(3) status with the IRS and we can now operate as a tax exempt corporation.  We are very excited about this development as it will provide the benefits I discussed in our last blog post and open up many doors to us.

The section 501(c) of the IRS code has a provision that provides a deduction, for federal income tax purposes, for some donors who make charitable contributions to the organization.  Donations made to Heart for Uganda will be tracked and reporting provided to donors for tax preparation purposes.

We are in the process of moving our donors contributions from Ripe for Harvest to directly to Heart for Uganda.  If you haven’t started contributing to Heart for Uganda and would like to support our mission, you can go to www.heartforuganda.com/donate.
