To all of you who support the Carson Scholars Fund (CSF)—whether as a donor, educator, volunteer or ambassador, we extend our heartfelt thanks! Your generosity truly makes a difference in the lives of so many students, helping them soar to new heights.

As the calendar year ends, it is important to note that nonprofits typically receive about 30% of their annual gifts during this time. These gifts enable the CSF to continue its vital mission, and we couldn’t do it without your support. Remember, no gift is too small—or too large—to make an impact!

If you’re considering when to give, there’s no better time than now. This year, the CSF is focusing on helping students soar to new heights – helping others ascend as they navigate the peaks and valleys of education and life.

So, as you make your list and check it twice this giving season, please consider adding the CSF to that list. Please note that 88 cents of every dollar received is invested in our programs.

One last thing. Please be mindful of IRS rules with regards to giving:

• “In Person – Physically received by the organization by Dec. 31” (“Year End Gift Cutoff – Nonprofit Accounting Academy”) (“Year End Gift Cutoff – Nonprofit Accounting Academy”)
• U.S. Postal Service – Postmarked by Dec. 31
• Private Delivery Service such as FedEx or UPS – Physically received by the organization by Dec. 31 (“Year End Gift Cutoff – Nonprofit Accounting Academy”)
• Credit Card — “Fully processed,” i.e., approved by the credit card issuer by Dec. 31

Please accept our gratitude! From all of us, we wish you and yours a wonderful yearend!
