This type of donation may be financially advantageous to you.  Seek advice from your tax professional.  Checks sent directly from a financial institution should be made out to Redwood Forest Friends Meeting - Guatemala Scholarship Program and mailed to the address above. Occasionally these checks arrive without the donor's name so please email our committee at rffm.info@gmail.com or info@progresagt.org

Stock donations

Donations of stock certificates may be made through our RFFM broker TD Ameritrade using the RFFM account #: 426 487 362.  At the same time your institution makes a stock transfer please email our committee at rffm.info@gmail.com and RFFM's treasurer, Ed Flowers at flowers2@sonic.net advising them of the stock symbol, quantity and date of record for the transfer.

Why sponsor a specific student?

More and more of our donors are choosing to sponsor a specific student rather than just contributing to the general fund. Why? They like receiving the student letters, staff reports and photos which keep them more closely in contact with the progress of one particular person.  Sponsorship expenses generally range from $1000 to $3000 for the entire 10 month school year which begins in January but if this amount is more than your budget will allow sponsorships can be share with two or more people.  If you are interested in exploring sponsorship email our director, Miguel Costop, at info@progresagt.org and let him know what type of student you are looking for and what you would be able to pay. We will send you the name and biographic information as well as expected expenses of the student selected for you.
