Do I need a receipt for donations I make?

Answer: 

The IRS doesn't require receipts for donations under $250, but you should keep donation information on file. Contributions of $250 and over require an acknowledgement that must be sent to the IRS with your tax returns. Any gifts to Harvesters will be gratefully acknowledged by a receipt.    

Are my gifts to Harvesters tax deductible?

Answer: 

Gifts to Harvesters qualify as charitable contributions and are tax-deductible. Whether or not your gifts to Harvesters are deductible on your tax return may depend on your own financial situation and the tax form you use. We suggest you contact the IRS or a tax advisor if in doubt. A charitable organization is generally defined as any nonprofit organization that is incorporated and identified by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) organization. These organizations have   been given tax-exempt status and can accept contributions. Harvesters is a registered 501(c)(3) organization.
Will I receive a refund if I cancel a trip reservation?

Answer: 

If it becomes necessary for a team member to cancel their participation in an upcoming trip, funds will not be refunded but will be rolled over to a future team at the request of the team member.  This will not be done if the team member is just short of funds. They must show proof of a medical need or have a death in the family.  Harvesters can get a year extension on plane tickets with a medical note but not on a death in the family. Any airline penalty would be deducted from team contributions received to date as would any non-refundable housing reservations.
