How can I update my credit card/address information? Please email contact@camfed.org for further instructions. Please note that you will be asked to confirm your information for security purposes. CAMFED considers the security of your personal and payment information the highest priority. Do you accept donations of books, school supplies, clothes or other materials? While we appreciate offers to support CAMFED partner schools with supplies, we are unable to accept these kinds of gifts. CAMFED avoids overhead and administrative costs associated with shipping donated goods or associated with centralized procurement, warehousing and transport. Instead, we provide cash transfers directly to partner schools so that they can buy the supplies they need. This policy also helps us support local businesses in Africa that sell school supplies, uniforms, and books. For example, some members of the CAMFED Association, CAMFED’s alumnae network, have started businesses making uniforms for schools in their districts. Do you accept donations of stock? Yes, we gratefully accept donations of stock. In order to make a donation of stock please contact contact@camfed.org and we will send you comprehensive instructions. What is CAMFED’s full tax identification? In the US, our full tax identification is: CAMFED USA Foundation, EIN 54–2033897. For other countries please use the currency dropdown at the top of this page. How can I get a receipt for tax purposes? For online donations, the acknowledgement you receive via email serves as your receipt for tax purposes. For donations made by other means, the donation acknowledgement sent to you by post or email serves as your receipt. To request a duplicate receipt please contact donations@camfed.org Does CAMFED share my information? In keeping with our privacy policy, we do not transmit, transfer or sell private information to any outside parties. Can I donate from my IRA, ROTH IRA, or other financial instrument? Yes, individuals who are 70.5 years old plus can make a gift to CAMFED using funds transferred directly from an IRA without reporting it as taxable income; the gift may apply to your required minimum distribution.
