F.A.Q.’s
Non-Profit
Q: Are you a non-profit?
A: Yes, thank you for asking. If you’re looking for us in your funding research, look for Santa Cruz Training Programs, Inc., EIN 86-0424088.
Q: Do you take donations?
A: Yes, and they are tax deductible, if you follow your tax preparers directions. Give us a call if you have more questions about us: 520-287-2043. If you’re more of an email person, email sctpres (at) sctpinc (dot) com.
Q: Tax forms?
A: This link goes to the AZ Credits for Contributions to Qualifying Charities. Look for Form 321.
If you are outside of Arizona, and need a receipt/letter of acknowledgment, please call the office. 520-287-2043.
Q: How can I donate online?
A: We have a PayPal Giving Fund account. We receive 100% of your donations through that link.
Other ways people have donated is through their own giving platforms, like Fidelity Charitable Fund, Benevity, and Facebook. Check out our donation page to see those links. Our turnaround time to send you an acknowledgment of gratitude does depend on the platform, we might not know about some donations for up to 10-45 days according to their rules and guidelines. Some platforms have threshold limits before they will process donations, which if are not met based on their rules, the donation could be in a holding pattern and we wouldn’t know about it. This happens because we choose not give our bank account information to multiple 3rd parties. We update Guidestar/Candid with our information, which seems to be where most 3rd parties are getting their information from, plus they may use the IRS database.
