the New England Amateur Skating Foundation (NEASF). Please make your

contribution to go towards the skating expenses of Ashley Wagner. The

ABOUT THE NEASF:
The NEASF is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to assist
competitive amateur skaters. All Regional, Sectional, National and
International skaters are eligible for assistance.
The mission of the New England Amateur Skating
Foundation is to help competitive skaters by defraying some of their
ever-increasing expenses. With many skaters in need of support, the
Foundation, a tax-exempt organization, offers the opportunity of
sponsorship to anyone who would like to help.
Donations are received from both individuals and
corporations. The monies collected are then used to defray
skating-related expenses such as ice time, lessons, costumes, equipment,
competition fees, strength training, ballet, off-ice classes and travel
expenses.
The NEASF Allocations Committee reviews its
information about a skater and allocates funds accordingly. Information
reviewed includes comments and recommendations of clubs, professionals
and donors, as well as the experience and competitive level of the
skater.
The skater must submit a bill or bills signed by
the skater as well as the head coach. If the skater is under 18 years of
age, the bills must be signed by a parent and the head coach. Payment is
made directly to the vendor or provider of the services.
One hundred percent of your
donation goes to the skater. The NEASF charges no fees and there are no
deductions of any kind. All of the operating expenses of the Foundation
are paid by volunteers. All donations are used to help the skaters.
The NEASF is tax-exempt under 501(C)(3) of the
Internal Revenue Code. Donations, therefore, are usually deductible. You
should consult with your tax accountant or advisor as to how your
contribution is to be treated.
