Questions
Before you give.
Is my gift tax-deductible?
Yes. SAVA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and gifts are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. You will receive a receipt by email for your records.
Does SAVA pay fees on my gift?
No. Checkout runs on Zeffy, which charges nonprofits no platform or card fees, so your whole gift reaches SAVA. At checkout, Zeffy asks for an optional contribution to Zeffy itself; you can set it to $0.
Can I give monthly?
Yes. Choose “Monthly” above. Monthly gifts give SAVA steady support it can plan around, and you can change or stop them at any time.
Can I give in someone’s name?
Yes. For Veterans Day, many people give in honor of a Sikh American who served. At checkout, choose “Make this donation in honour or in memory of someone” and add the name; it travels with your gift.
Who do I contact about my gift?
Write to media@sava.org and we will take care of it.
