Frequently Asked Questions

Are my donations tax deductible?

The simple answer is yes—in most cases. Our team will prepare tax deductible donation letters for any donor who logs a donation and provides an email address. If you donate anonymously, we will not be able to provide you with a tax receipt. Please consult with your tax advisor to determine whether your donation is tax-deductible in whole or in part. Nothing in this communication is intended to constitute legal or tax advice.
I lost or didn’t receive a tax-deductible donation letter, how can I request one?

No problem! Just email giving@kyccla.org with the full name of the donor and rough date of the donation and we’ll send you a copy.
