Donations to OK Box
Soon we hope to have a secure and convenient means of donating money online via PayPal.
Meanwhile, it's important to maintain complete transparency and avoid any appearance of impropriety, so we ask that you help us with the paper trail provided when you write us a check or with a receipt we will write when cash is tendered. There have already been some louts that have been caught collecting money that went right into their own pockets. Unbelievable!
As a registered 501(c)3 Non-Profit Organization, contributions to Ok Boxes are fully deductable, depending on your tax situation. Please discuss this with a tax expert if this is an issue for you. A 501c3 tax receipt is returned to you automatically after receipt of your kind donation.
Be sure to notate check or instructions with the words "troop support" to make sure funds are applied correctly.
