Donation Policy

The Pucusana Project is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation organized under the laws of the State of Colorado. (EIN#: 82-4616372). We encourages and greatly appreciate all donations to the organization that will help us to fulfill our mission. 

​

All charitable contributions (financial giving or in-kind donations) are seen as a gift to the corporation and are nonrefundable. The Pucusana Project also reserves the right to refuse any In-Kind donation that it deems too restrictive in its purposes or not in the corporation’s best interest. 

Acceptable Gifts: 

1. Checks: Check donations must be made out to The Pucusana Project and can have any specific project the donor prefers their donation to go toward written in the memo line. If the memo line is left blank or has a general meaning, the check amount will go toward the “General Operations Budget” and be spent at the discretion of the Board of Directors. 

​

2. ​Cash: Cash donations are accepted with the understanding that they will go toward the “General Operations Budget” and be spent at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

3. Pledges and/or Automatic Bank Deposits: Monthly or one-time automatic bank deposits are acceptable when there is a general understanding between the donor and a The Pucusana Project representative for what the funds will be used for. This understanding can be a spoken agreement, written in an e-mail or a formal contract. If the donor does not specify where they want their donation to go, it will go toward the “General Operations Budget” and be spent at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
