Sickle Cell anemia & Charity, Inc.(SCAACI) wants everyone shopping at Amazon to use its link at https://smile.amazon.com/ch/23-7268314.  Amazon will donate five percent of each sale made using this link to SCAACI. In addition to disseminating information on sickle cell disease, SCAACI helps needy families achieve and retain home ownership.

 

If you notify SCAACI (scaaci_to_me@yahoo.com) that you are using this link for your Amazon shopping, you will get an IRS Form 8283 in the amount donated by Amazon.  This verifies the amount you can use as a charitable deduction.  This is normally an itemized deduction.  If you do not itemize, SCAACI will show you how to establish a home business and use that business for your Amazon shopping. That way, you can get your deduction via your business. It is essential that the business is setup correctly to assure acceptance by the Internal Revenue service.

 

SCAACI is being assisted in this effort by Compucount, Inc. (http://alturl.com/nrouu), a financial consulting firm specializing in income tax reduction. Compucount, Inc. will serve as your advisor in setting up your business. Compucount, Inc. will respond to any and all inquiries if you email taxfixnow@gmail.com with “SCAACI Inquiry” as the subject.

 

SCAACI needs to raise some $400,000 to purchase a mixed use property in Rancocas, New Jersey to serve as its headquarters.  In addition to providing a permanent home, it will give SCAACI a visible presence in the community.  A visible community presence will enhance fund raising and heighten awareness of SCAACI’s mission.
