Ways to Help

---

At Pinoy Rob Foundation, we deeply appreciate your generosity and want to ensure you fully understand how donations work and how they benefit both you and the communities we serve. Below is a thorough explanation of the donation process, examples of donation impact, tax implications, and transparency measures.

When you make a donation to the Pinoy Rob Foundation, the funds go directly toward our mission to promote health, education, and media opportunities for underprivileged communities in the Philippines. Here’s how it works:

1. Choose Your Donation Amount:
   • Donations can be made online through our secure platform or via check or credit card.
   • You can make a one-time contribution or set up recurring donations.

             2.  Receive a Receipt:

• You will receive an acknowledgment email and receipt for your donation, which you can use for tax purposes.

              3.  Impact Report:

• We will share detailed reports about how your donation is being utilized, ensuring full transparency.

We want you to see the tangible difference your generosity makes. 

• Health: Provide essential medical supplies for children.
• Education: Help cover the costs of our after-school program at the Pinoy Rob Wisdom Center.
• Employment Opportunities: Fund with just $100, a grants to start a small business with unlimited financial education from the Pinoy Rob Wisdom Center.

Each dollar you give translates into real-world benefits for individuals and communities.

While donations can often qualify for a tax deduction, there are a few important details to keep in mind:

               Current 501(c)(3) Status:

• We have applied for 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, but the approval is still in process.
• If our 501(c)(3) status is approved in 2024, your donation will be retroactively tax-deductible for 2024. If approval is delayed until 2025, you may not claim a deduction for 2024 donations.

               What You Need to File on Your Taxes:

• Retain your donation receipt as proof of contribution.
• Include the donation amount on your Schedule A (Form 1040) if you itemize deductions.

               Maximum Donation Limits:

• For most taxpayers, you can deduct donations up to 60% of your adjusted gross income (AGI) when filing taxes. Consult your tax professional for specific guidance.

               Risks of Delayed Approval:

• If we do not receive 501(c)(3) approval in 2024, you will not be able to claim a deduction for donations made in that year. However, if approval occurs in 2025, donations made in that year will be eligible.

Your donation to the Pinoy Rob Foundation offers benefits far beyond a tax break. By contributing, you:

• Create Lasting Change: Your generosity directly supports communities in need, leaving a lasting legacy.
• Receive Regular Updates: You’ll see the difference your donation makes through our updates and impact reports.
• Join a Community: You’re part of a global effort to uplift and empower others.

We believe in full transparency. Every dollar donated is accounted for, and we openly share financial reports to show how funds are being utilized. However, we recommend that you consult a qualified tax professional for advice tailored to your individual circumstances. Please note that this overview is not intended as tax advice.

By donating to the Pinoy Rob Foundation, you’re making a positive difference in the world. While there is some risk associated with our pending 501(c)(3) approval, your support fuels our mission to bring hope and opportunity to underprivileged communities in the Philippines.

Thank you for believing in our mission and for your generous support.

A $100 USD donation can make an incredible difference when allocated strategically through the Pinoy Rob Foundation programs. Here’s how it can maximize its impact:

For just $0.90 per day ($18 per month), one child receives:

• After-school tutoring to improve academic performance and confidence.
• Essential nutrition: One protein bar, one serving of cow’s milk enriched with Vitamin D, and two multivitamins daily.

With $100 USD, you can support 5 children for a full month or provide a child with 111 days of nutrition and education, ensuring they stay healthy and focused.

At just P50.37 ($1.01 USD) per month per child, you can provide:

• Dental floss.
• A toothbrush (replaced every six months).
• Toothpaste.

For $100 USD, you can cover the dental hygiene needs of 99 children for a month, helping improve their oral health and preventing long-term dental issues.

With a $100 USD micro-grant, the Pinoy Rob Foundation can fund a small business for an unemployed individual, such as:

• A barbeque cart, fruit and vegetable cart, dessert cart, or healthy drink cart.

These businesses become self-sustaining after the initial grant, providing stable income for families and contributing to the local economy. Your $100 USD can help an entire family break out of poverty.

A $100 USD donation contributes significantly to the Pinoy Rob Foundation Rice Cooperative by helping purchase the 250 kilos of rice needed to kickstart or expand the program. This initiative ensures food security and affordable rice for the local community while generating free rice for co-op members after profits.

To achieve maximum value, your $100 USD could:

1. Provide nutrition and education for 3 children for a month ($54).
2. Cover dental hygiene for 40 children for a month ($40).
3. Contribute to the micro-grant fund with the remaining $6, building sustainable businesses.

This combination helps children stay healthy, educated, and supported, while also uplifting families through economic empowerment.

Your $100 USD donation can profoundly impact children and families by addressing critical needs in education, nutrition, health, and economic empowerment. Every dollar you contribute creates a ripple effect, helping build stronger, healthier, and more self-reliant communities. Donate today to make a lasting difference!
