501c3

PRAISE GOD!  Went to the post office box yesterday and was THRILLED to get the letter from the Internal Revenue Service stating that Hearts United with Haiti is now officially a 501c3 organization!  What does this mean??  It means that ALL donations (retroactive to March 24, 2011) are tax deductible.  We understand that people give for many reasons to different organizations and we fully understand that being able to deduct those donations is beneficial- especially in the tough economic times in which we live.  Any way to save money on your federal taxes is a bonus!  We pray that this will help more people be willing to support our ministry financially.

Having our 501c3 will also benefit us in other ways.  Now we can finally work to obtain the papers needed to be a registered organization in Haiti, we have more "credibility" (we are "recognized" by the federal government of the USA), etc...  

Thank you for ALL your prayers as we worked through this process!  We learned a lot and are blessed that we have finally achieved this status!  Can't wait to see what else God has as we move forward!  :)
