Fry's 'Cool Cash' is an additional 1% on purchases

$40,000 Band Fundraiser, but the Donor gets paid!
The Big Picture:
• For anyone donating their tax credit to the CDS
Bands, East Valley Dermatology (EVDC) will pay
25% of the cost.
• By incentivizing people to donate, the $10k pledge
from EVDC yields $40k in total donations!
Example:
You convince your neighbor to designate $400 to CDS
Bands. They mail the form & $300 check to EVDC. I
add $100 from EVDC, and deliver the $400 to CDS.
I mail the $400 receipt and a thank-you letter to your
neighbor. So, your neighbor paid $300, but will reduce
her state tax liability by $400 - a $100 profit!
Logistics:
 Spread the word - the Band and donors both win !!!
 Sample forms available up front
 Email me with questions or to receive forms:
[email protected]
Fine Print: If you file taxes as "individual" then you
can contribute up to $200 each year. The limit is $400
if you file "married filing jointly". This would not be
beneficial if you do not pay state income taxes, or if
you've already directed your tax credit allowance to
another organization. Program not available for tax
credits designated to a specific student.
