MAGSR Frequently
Asked Questions
- Are
my donations tax deductible?
Yes. We
are an IRS (and state of Maryland) recognized charity [IRS Code
501(c)3] so donations are deductible to the extent that you can
personally deduct charitable contributions on your taxes.
- What
percentage of my donation goes directly to helping the dogs?
100%. All of our volunteers
freely donate their time and resources and are not compensated.
- I
can’t adopt or foster right now, but I want to help. What can I
do?
So many things. First
off, we always need
donations, so helping can be as easy as dropping a check in
the mail. If you’re uncomfortable with a cash donation, call
MAGSR to see what supplies we currently need the most: bedding,
food, crates, leashes, toys, supplies, and so on. The number of
shepherds we can help is directly proportional to the donations
we receive.
Secondly, you can directly sponsor a dog. See the MAGSR
web site under Sponsorship for more information.
Finally, you can donate your time. We need people for so many things:
kennel visits, dog transportation, home visits, various fundraisers--the
list is nearly endless! In
addition we have regular PetSmart visits (probably at one near you)
and a variety of adoption functions. Even if you’re not fostering,
you can pick up a dog from the kennel, their owner, or the foster
to bring to one of those functions for a few hours once a month.
- I’m
ready to volunteer my time or become a foster owner. What do I do?
On the MAGSR web site,
under Forms there’s a volunteer form
and a foster form.
When you submit your form, it goes to either the volunteer coordinator
or the foster coordinator. Someone will contact you shortly.
And welcome aboard!
