Donations to Charitable organizations
In
the past American Home & Habitat has donated thousands of dollars
worth of merchandise to many charitable organizations. We are now deluged
with requests every month from dozens of organizations from all over the
world seeking donations. We can not possibly donate to all, and having to
make a choice among so many good and worthy organizations has proven to be
difficult.
Effective 12-4-2003 AH&H will now offer a program to provide donations
to all organizations that seek them. This
is how it works: 1. The
organization purchases whatever merchandise /materials it needs from
AH&H, at list prices. 2. The
organization; through it's membership, activities, local influence etc.
gets individuals to shop at AH&H and place online orders. 3.
AH&H will then make a cash donation to that organization
of a percentage of the total order amounts of all the customers that the
organization referred to AH&H within 6 months. The donation percentage
is 10% for registered U.S. charitable organizations who can provide
AH&H with legal proof of such status, and a receipt of the donation to
write off on our taxes. All other organizations will receive a sales
commission of 5% which is not tax deductible for that organization. 4.
The customers that the organization refer to AH&H must place their
orders online within 6 months (180 days) of the organization's initial
purchase. At the end of the 6 months the organization must provide
AH&H with the list of customers that it referred. The following
information is required: Each customer's name, order number, and
order total. If claiming the 10% donation, The list must be
accompanied by legal proof of the organization's U.S. charitable
organization status, and a receipt of the donation amount for AH&H's
tax records. 5.
Twelve to Fifteen weeks after AH&H receives and verifies this
list, we will send the organization a check (payable in US dollars)
for donation that the organization qualified for.
