Tax Deduction

I can answer that. We actually report your name directly to the Red Cross in a list, so feel free to count any donation as deductable since the Red Cross is a 501(c) organization. While you can actually go ahead and donate directly to any of these organizations, Visa, American Express, etc. always gets their processing fees so Red Crosss actually does not benefit your entire donation. We process your credit card, add back in any processing fees these companies chanrge and give 100 % of your intended donation to this organization.

Hope this helps.
