Giving FAQs

  • You can donate securely online through our website, or by mailing a check.

  • The Center is excited to share that we have applied for 501(c)(3) non-profit status and are currently awaiting our official approval letter from the IRS. In the meantime, we have received interim approval from the Massachusetts Attorney General to solicit and collect charitable donations.

    While our 501(c)(3) status is pending, donations may not yet be tax-deductible. However, once approved (scheduled for June 2025), we will provide the necessary documentation for tax purposes.
