Donation FAQs
Everything you need to know about donating to Team Tobatí. Still have questions?
Students stay with trusted host families, many of whom we have been working with for the past 28 years. We normally have a U.S. chaperone in each house and all are within a couple of blocks of each other.
Are my donations tax deductible?
Yes! We are a registered 501(c)3 non-profit. When you make a donation on our page, you will automatically be sent a tax receipt that you can use to claim the deduction.
Do you charge any service or administrative fees?
No. We partner with the fundraising platform Zeffy, which uses a tip-based model to fund its operations. 100% of your donation goes straight to Team Tobatí's mission. There are no hidden processing fees, credit card fees, or transaction fees.
When you make your donation, you will be given the option to leave a tip for Zeffy, which helps keep this platform free for non-profits. However, it is 100% optional. To opt out, simply click "other" and enter $0. The decision not to tip will not trigger any fees for yourself or for our organization.
