Please read these notes and instructions carefully. (Revised 30 April 2011)

NOTES

1. Contributions made to CVI² are U.S. tax deductible.

2. You may advise CVI² in writing on how you would like CVI² to apply your gift.

3. If you want to receive a tax-deductible receipt, then you must provide a complete, return-mail address. Please, spell out your name as you want it to appear on your receipt.

4. CVI² can issue receipts for gifts in kind. You can also donate cars, trucks, boats, rv's, motor homes, motorcycles, off road vehicles, heavy equipment and most other motorized vehicles, to Cars 4 Causes and designate resale proceeds for Community Vision International. Visit http://www.cars4causes.net/

5. CVI² administrative charges never exceed five percent of gifts received. The 5% fee applies only to the first $2500 of a one-time contribution to a single project. No fee is applied to the portion beyond $2500. This fee pays for accounting, book-keeping, receipting, administration, postage, telecommunication, taxes, fees, office equipment, governmental reporting, and other services to programs and projects. (CVI² officers are not salaried by the organization.)
