A balance beam was generously
donated by one of our LASG Members who was moving on to college. The
beam has no legs to stand on and we need your help to get it up and
standing. The beam is worth almost $1500 and legs are going to cost us
$1200. We need your help. |

General Donation
Information
Members and Friends, Los Alamos School of Gymnastics (LASG) is a
registered 501(c)3 non profit, tax exempt, charitable organization and we
rely upon on Friends and Members to keep us going. United Way Did you know that if you donate to the LANL/LANS Volunteer Match Did you know that if you work at the Los Alamos
National Laboratories then for every 100 hours that you have or will
volunteer anywhere, that the Laboratory has contributed cash toward
designated organizations, adding to your already valuable and appreciated
efforts? While they do not promise the
same this year, they encourage those that give volunteer hours (including
travel time) to log their volunteer hours at www.lanl.voluteermatch.org
. For every 100 hours volunteered
anywhere and with any type of organization or effort, the employee can
designate all or some of the LANL match to any 501(c)3 charitable
organization. So if you volunteer as a
poll worker for the State (which cannot receive money and is not a charitable
organization) those hours can still be logged and counted toward each 100
total hours you may serve and organization of your choice can monetarily
benefit. Remember your work hours count as
LANL/LANS volunteer hours since you are not paid. A few clicks can mean
real money to our gym. Cash
and Materials Did you
know that cash and material donations to Los Alamos School of Gymnastics are
tax deductible for the tax year in which you make the donation? While you may not deduct fees for classes
or meets, if you are so inclined, you may donate cash or materials. Charitable contributions are deductible
only if you itemize deductions on your 1040 tax return. To be deductible, charitable contributions
must be made to qualified organizations, of
which Los Alamos School of Gymnastics is one. If you make a contribution of cash, check, or
monetary gift (regardless of amount), then you must maintain a record of the
contribution as either a bank record or a written communication from the
qualified organization. You generally can deduct the fair market value of any
property you donate, as well as your cash contributions, to qualified
organizations. For any contribution of $250 or more (including contributions
of property), you must obtain a contemporaneous written acknowledgment from
the qualified organization. One document may satisfy both the written
communication requirement for monetary gifts and the contemporaneous written
acknowledgement requirement for all contributions of $250 or more. (See Loui for a written receipt.) For more information refer to IRS publication 526, Charitable Contributions, and IRS
publication 561, Determining the Value of
Donated Property. |
