Frequently Asked Questions About Giving:

We have Venmo and PayPal accounts. If you have a preferred way to donate and you don't see it listed, please call us.
Is my gift tax deductible? The answer is that it depends on the gift. The IRS states that monetary gifts for which the donor does not receive anything in exchange (including raffle tickets) are tax deductible. When items or professional services are donated, then we cannot provide specific tax-deductible information, you will need to work with your tax professional regarding IRS regulations. Also, if you are part of an event that is created to benefit BGHP, but monies are given to the third party, not directly to BGHP, then we are not able to provide you with proof of a tax-deductible gift because the gift was given to a third party. For more information, please feel free to contact our Executive Director. We appreciate your support and are grateful for your tax-deductible gifts.
Is my on-line gift secure? Yes, we use Network for Good as our online donation processor. Their system is a highly reputable secure online giving platform.
Will my personal information be sold or traded? No, we never sell or trade information about any one of our donors. Your information is private and confidential.
