Fundraising Disclosure

Effective Date: January 1, 2024  |  Last Updated: June 13, 2026

La Paix Foundation is committed to complete transparency in our fundraising practices. We want every donor to give with confidence, knowing exactly who we are, how we are legally organized, and how your gift is used.

1. Legal Status & Registration

2. Donation Platform

La Paix Foundation processes all online donations through Zeffy, a Canadian-based nonprofit fundraising platform. Zeffy is unique in that it charges 0% platform fees — meaning 100% of your designated donation reaches our programs. Zeffy covers its own costs through optional tips that donors can choose to leave. You are never required to tip.

Donations processed through Zeffy are subject to Zeffy's own Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, available at zeffy.com.

3. Use of Funds

Donations received by La Paix Foundation are used to support our programs and operations in Cap-Haïtien, Haiti, and in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Our general allocation targets are:

• Program Services (70%+): Direct program costs including teacher salaries, school meals, theological institute operations, and community center activities
• Administrative/Operations (≤20%): Organizational management, legal and accounting compliance, communications
• Fundraising (≤10%): Donor communications, website, and outreach

We strive to maximize the percentage of every dollar that reaches those we serve. Actual allocations may vary year to year and are reported in our annual financial disclosures.

Restricted gifts (donations given for a specific program or purpose) will be used for that designated purpose. If a restricted purpose cannot be fulfilled, donors will be contacted.

4. Tax Deductibility

Eglise Evangelique de la Paix Inc. is a tax-exempt religious organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (EIN 31-1641309). Donations made to La Paix Foundation are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by U.S. law.

Donors will receive a donation acknowledgment letter or receipt (via Zeffy) for any gift of $250 or more as required by the IRS. Please retain this documentation for your tax records.

La Paix Foundation does not provide tax or legal advice. Please consult a qualified tax professional regarding the deductibility of your contribution.

5. Annual Reporting & Compliance

As a registered Florida nonprofit, Eglise Evangelique de la Paix Inc. files annual reports with the Florida Department of State and maintains compliance with all applicable state and federal nonprofit regulations.
