I have a great idea for SALTworld. How can I submit an inclusion?
We would love to hear your ideas if there are projects you would like us to sponsor. We want our organization to resonate with our donors. Please complete the form under Get Involved and give us as much detail as possible.
I would love to help raise money. What can I do?
There are many ways you can help raise funding for acts of service around the world. Hosting a local fundraising event is a great way to to raise funds and awareness about the needs of developing countries we are sponsoring. If you would like to host a fundraising event, please reach out to as at info@SALT-world.org.
What percentage of money goes to those in need?
Our goal for first year donations is to have as close to 100% of donations actually pass through to those we are serving. No officers or board of director members are compensated. They all serve on a voluntary basis. All travel is paid from the officer and board members own pocket. Therefore, after some basic expenses (i.e., 501(c)(3) filing fees, etc) all donations will go to those we help – which in 2015 was 98%. Very few if any non-profits can claim this!
When will I receive a receipt for my donation?
After you donate on the website you will automatically receive an email which includes a tax letter summarizing your donations for the year.
