Agradecemos a Deus por você!
We give thanks to God for you!
When you give through our easy-to-use, secure donation portal above, you transform the lives of the poor in the Amazon. Fully 100% of your donation goes to the poor, and no administrative costs are ever deducted from your gift, ensuring that your donation has the most impact possible for the people who need it most.
How can I help the poor in the Amazon?
There are so many ways that you can make a transformative impact for the people in the Amazon by partnering with Amazon Relief! Amazon Relief is an IRS approved 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, and when you give to help the "at risk" children, the lepers, and the poor that we serve in the Amazon, your donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. If you cannot afford to give, support us with your prayers. We believe in the power of Jesus Christ and we believe in the power of prayer.
What percentage of my donation goes to administrative costs?
None of it! 100% of your donation goes to the poor in the Amazon. We never deduct any money from your donation for our administrative costs. Instead, we pay for our operation costs using bank interest and gifts from "special angels" who set aside their donations for that purpose.
Can I mail a check to you?
Yes! Write your check to "Amazon Relief" and mail to the following address:
2944 Fuller Avenue NE, Suite 205
Grand Rapids, Michigan 49505
What about gifts of securities or real estate?
You can donate stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and real estate to Amazon Relief. These types of donations may have certain tax benefits for a donor. Normally when you sell appreciated stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or real estate, a capital gains tax is due. However, you may be able to avoid this tax and obtain a tax deduction for the full value of the property by donating it to Amazon Relief.
How can I remember Amazon Relief in my will?
Amazon Relief can be named as a beneficiary in your Will. It can be given a designated amount, or a percentage of your estate, or part or all of the residue of your estate. All donations made to Amazon Relief are deductible from your estate for Federal Estate Tax purposes.
When you name Amazon Relief as owner and beneficiary of a life insurance policy you may be able to receive a tax deduction for the value of the policy. Alternately, you can name Amazon Relief as a secondary beneficiary for a life insurance policy. For example, you may wish to provide for a surviving spouse. However, if your spouse predeceases you, then Amazon Relief would receive the proceeds.
