Hi Friends!
We are currently accepting donations of:
We plan on assembling manicure kits to donate to teenage girls in foster care in Palm Beach Gardens during the month of December.
To arrange to make a donation, please email info@cosmeticsforacause.org or call 561-693-9180 between the hours of 5pm to 9pm eastern time.
Thank you for your help!
We will gather at the beginning of December to assemble the bags. If you would like to volunteer, please leave a comment or contact us.
The IRS received our application for non-profit status. Now we just have to wait…and then wait some more. They are currently working on applications that they received in February 2012. Yikes!
We won’t let their backlog stop us. We are going to move forward and begin our solicitation for donations. We plan on informing all of our potential donors that our application is on file with the IRS, awaiting a 501 (c) (3) determination. If they would like to contribute cosmetics in the meantime, that would be wonderful! We will notify them as soon as we receive the official declaration from the IRS, at which time their donations will become tax-deductible. (Once the non-profit status becomes official, it also becomes retroactive to the date that the application was submitted. That’s good news!)
Our social media blitz and marketing campaign can now commence! Ready, set, GO!
Phew! After hours and hours of paperwork, we have finally finished all of the necessary forms, attachments, and exhibits for our 501 (c) (3) designation. Now we have to mail everything to the IRS and wait. And wait. And wait a little more.
It will be worth the wait, though. We will keep you posted! As soon as we receive our official nonprofit designation, we will let you know! In the meantime, we are busy, busy, busy behind the scenes preparing for our official launch.
Please keep your fingers crossed for us!
Thank you for visiting! We are busy behind-the-scenes preparing for the official launch of Cosmetics for a Cause. While you’re waiting, please follow us on Twitter and like us on Facebook. We can’t wait to share our purpose. Please check back daily.
