-
What is Inner Voice Community Services?
Inner Voice Community Services is the parent organization of the
Pennies From Heaven program. The goal of the organization
is to serve communities by providing real, tangible benefits to the many
sectors we serve. Although IVCS sponsors many programs, rest assured that
100% of your contributions to Pennies From Heaven go
to that program and that program only.
-
On
my credit card bill the donation reads that it was made to Inner Voice
Community Services. Why does it read that way?
Inner Voice Community Services is the parent non-profit
organization of this program. All donations are routed through IVCS in
order to streamline the organization’s accounting operation and
to provide the tax-deductible benefit to donors. The monthly statement
you receive will detail this as well for your records. Should you have
any additional questions please call or email
us at anytime.
-
Can I make a donation in honor of someone else?
Yes, you can. When donating, please specify
that you wish to make a donation in honor of someone else. You will be
prompted to enter the necessary information and will subsequently be sent
something to commemorate your gift.
-
Why can’t I make a one-time donation on the site?
For our non-corporate donors we ask that those interested in helping
Pennies from Heaven sign up for an automatic monthly
donation. Many non-profit organizations spend much of their annual budgets
on fundraising instead of actually helping those in need. Instead of spending
tens of thousands of dollars on marketing, we prefer to have donors willing
to make a consistent monthly commitment. To accomplish this, we ask for
a very low commitment, starting at under $10 per month. It may not seem
like much, but multiplied by many thousands of donors across the country
it makes a significant contribution. And by doing this, the organization
can focus on lessening the burdens faced by families experiencing medical
emergencies. If you are interested in making an additional donation, or
do not own a credit card you may send a check or money order to the address
listed on the Contact Us Page.
