What is The New England Amateur Skating Foundation?
The NEASF is a tax-exempt organization under section 501c3 of the Internal Revenue Code. Its mission is to help competitive skaters defraying their expenses. With many skaters in need of support, the Foundation offers the opportunity to make charitable donations to a general fund or to make charitable donations or sponsor a specific skater(s).
What percentage of your donation actually goes to the skater?
The NEASF charges no fees and there are no deductions of any kind. Volunteers pay all of the operating expenses of the Foundation. All donations are used to help the skaters.
How does the NEASF work?
Donations are received from both individuals and corporations. The monies collected are then used to defray only skating related expenses such as ice time, coaching and choreography fees, costumes, off-ice training, equipment and travel.
How are the funds allocated?
The NEASF Allocations Committee reviews its information about a skater and allocates funds accordingly. The information reviewed includes comments and recommendations of clubs, professionals and donors, as well as the experience and competitive level of the skater.
How does the skater receive money from the fund?
The skater must submit their bill or bills signed by the skater as well as their skating professional (coach). If the skater is under 18 years of age, the bill(s) must be signed by a parent and skating professional (coach). Payment is made directly to the vendor or provider of services.
Is my donation tax-deductible?
The New England Amateur Skating Foundation is a tax-exempt organization organized under section 501c3 of the Internal Revenue Code. Donations, therefore, are usually deductible. You should consult with your tax accountant or advisor as to how your contribution is to be treated.
