Frequently Asked Questions - Donations

How much of my donation will actually go to the program for which I am donating?

100% The donation you give to a particular program goes entirely to the program. CMEF works hard to ensure all money earmarked for a particular program supports that program directly. Only money given directly to CMEF is used to pay for our administrative costs (i.e. credit card transaction fees, web hosting fees, etc.). When you give to a program, we give you an option to help cover our overhead which we hope you will consider :)

Is my donation tax deductible?

Yes. The Corps Member Education Foundation is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization. All donations a fully tax deductible.

May I make a donation to the Corps Member Education Foundation by writing a check?

Yes. The Corps Member Education Foundation is happy to accept check donations. Please make the check payable to "CMEF" and please include the particular program for which you would like the money to be donated on the subject line and send it to:
