Tax Deductibility

All donations to the Jason Choy Memorial Scholarship are tax deductible and will go directly to Eleanor Roosevelt High School, a public high school that qualifies for federal tax exemption as an arm of the government of Prince George's County, Maryland.

Administrative Fees

The organizers of the Jason Choy Scholarship Fund are working on a volunteer basis and do not receive any compensation for their work. We are, however, using a fee-based online service to help administer the scholarship and to collect funds, and there are a few things that you, as a potential donor, might like to know:

• Donations are being collected through Acteva.com, a for-profit corporation that provides online solutions for event organizers.
  
• Acteva will take a small percentage of all donations, ranging from roughly 3% to 8%, depending on the size of the donation, to cover administrative costs.
  
• In addition, as with all credit card charitable donations, credit card donations to the Jason Choy Scholarship are subject to fees charged by the credit card providers. Visa, MasterCard and Discover Card will take 2.5% and American Express will take 3.5% of donated amounts.
  
• Donations made by check are subject only to Acteva fees.
  
• The organizers have no relationship with Acteva.
  
• Detailed information on Acteva’s privacy policies can be found here.

The bottom line is that roughly $9 out of every $10 donated WILL go directly towards providing a scholarship to a deserving ERHS senior. Total fees paid to Acteva and the credit card providers will vary depending on the sizes of donations, but WILL NOT exceed 13.5%. For a more detailed breakdown of the fee structure, click here.
