Contributions to FACE

About FACE Staff, September 2000

Fathers’ and Children’s Equality is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Your contributions to FACE should be tax deductible for you. Check with your tax professional to be sure.

Regular membership is $75.00 per year. Since we are a grassroots organization, we ask those who are able to consider Patron membership for $250.00 or more per year. Patrons will receive special recognition for their support of FACE. Life membership is granted to those who contribute $750.00 or more in one calendar year.

All FACE memberships expire on December 31st of each year. The only exception is for initial memberships that commence in the last three months of the year. These will expire on December 31st of the following year.

If your employer has a charitable giving program, we encourage you to contribute to FACE through that plan. Your employer’s matching funds will then also go to FACE and help support our activities. Please specify on your donor pledge that you want your contribution to go to Fathers’ and Children’s Equality, and give our address.

You might be able to require your ex-spouse to contribute to FACE. If you file an enforcement of litigant’s rights in court, and you ask for sanctions against your opponent, ask that the sanction be a substantial contribution to your favorite charity. If you win, specify that the charity to be contributed to is FACE.

Have you been court-ordered to obtain life insurance coverage, but the smallest policy you can get is for more than the court requires? Consider naming FACE as the beneficiary for the excess amount.

FACE will credit all funds received on your behalf from all sources toward your membership.
