WorkPlace Giving Campaign Season is Here!
 
Are you living and working in the USA?  If so, the company you work for probably has an Employee WorkPlace Giving Program and this is the season for chosing the charities you will be giving to over the next year through your payroll deduction.  Did you know that the IVPF is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, tax exempt charity and qualifies for such programs? 
 
United Way is a large charity that most of you are familiar with.  While the IVPF is not part of the United Way, it is a member charity of the Combined Federal Campaign and Community Health Charities in the St. Louis, MO Gateway campaigns.  If you live in the Gateway Area, look for us in your campaign booklet.
 
HOWEVER, even if your company is not in St. Louis, you can still donate to the IVPF through your WorkPlace Giving program!  Almost every employer will let you add a qualified charity to their program.  On top of that, many employers will also MATCH your donation!  You will need the following information to add the IVPF to your WorkPlace Giving Program.  THIS is the time to do it too - during the campaign season.
 
Name:  International Vasa Previa Foundation, Inc.

Corporate address: 2109 5th Street, Moline, IL 61265

EIN Tax number: 36-4450161

 

The above is what you need to put on the form so they can find us in the IRS records as a 501(c)(3).  If you would like us to send you a few IVPF brochures to hand out at work, send your request and postal address to info@... and we will get some right out to you.

 

Visit http://IVPF.org/Fundraising for more ideas on how you can support the work of the IVPF including the eScrip program which allows you to shop at your own stores and donate to the IVPF at NO COST to you whatsoever.  eScrip merchants are all over the USA.  When you register one of your debit or credit cards with eScrip and assign the IVPF as your charity, all purchases made at participating stores automatically earn the IVPF a donation.  Apply for an eScrip Visa card and every purchase you make anywhere will earn a donation to the IVPF - at absolutely no cost to you.  Purchases made with an eScrip credit card at a participating merchant earn the IVPF both the store's donation and the Visa donation!

 

Donate directly to IVPF with PayPal. Its fast, easy and secure.

 

 

These programs are very important to vasa previa babies everywhere.  The IVPF is a small organization run by people like you who have experienced vasa previa.  We have no paid employees.  Every penny goes towards awareness campaigns and research.  Our volunteers selflessly donate thousands of hours of their time to providing support and information to other parents just like you.  We also provide information to doctors by attending large (expensive!) medical conferences, organizing mailing campaigns, and sponsoring hospital educational programs on vasa previa.  Together we ARE making a difference!  Thank you very much for your help.  It only takes a moment to diagnose life...

 

Kindest regards,

The Directors and Staff

of the International Vasa Previa Foundation
