All donations are tax-deductible, because the Sports Association of Oakland, a registered 501(c)3 organization, has agreed to manage contributions to the project.
If you wish to mail a check instead (and is preferred due to PayPal's fees), please send to the following address: Sports Association of Oakland ATTN: Great Oak Park – Dog Park P.O. Box 236 Oakland, NJ 07436 Make the check out to "Sports Association of Oakland, NJ" and on the memo line, be sure to write "Dog Park". |
In addition, all contributors of $1,000 or more will have their name or their business or organization’s name featured on a thank you sign to be erected at the dog park.
The Sports Association of Oakland’s EIN is 26-3382087. Canceled checks can be used as evidence of the donation for tax purposes.
Funds raised for the dog park efforts are placed in the Sports Association of Oakland's bank account but is separated from the organization's regular budget, so funds raised for the dog park are not used for any other purpose by the Sports Association of Oakland. Donations towards the dog park are tracked and charted to ensure funds donated for the dog park are separated away and are set aside strictly for this fundraising cause.
In the event that the Dog Park Fundraising Subcommittee comes to the conclusion that a location for a dog park cannot be found in the Borough of Oakland, all corporate monetary donations, grant money, and local organization donations shall be fully returned. Individuals who donated by check or online methods shall be fully refunded if their donation was $100 or above. Donations under $100 and/or donations that cannot be traced back to an individual or entity shall be donated to the Borough of Oakland or the Sports Association of Oakland for local park improvements and maintenance.
