VMS and United Way

[Guest guest]

Dear Haribhaktas,

 

This is the time of the year, when you

will start hearing the words “United Way” at your work place, particularly in the big US based corporations. If you

have not heard the words “United Way” at the place where you work, please ignore rest of the

contents of this email.

 

This mail is intended for information

purposes only

 

Many US based Corporations participate

in a big way, raising funds for United Way ( http://national.unitedway.org/ )

 

2004-2005

United Way

Campaigns are going on in full swing at many companies, Check you company's

website for this year's United Way Campaign details. Many of you, may have

participated in contributing to the United Way.

 

The purpose of this email is to bring to

your attention how you can direct the funds, which you contribute, to any tax

exempted charitable trusts like VMS:

 

VISHVA MADHVA SANGHA

 

20217

LAS ONDAS WAY

CUPERTINO, CA 95014

 

It is a 501©(03) public charity

EIN: 52-2126009

 

You can locate other charities

(501©(03) public charity) at the national site http://www.guidestar.org/

 

 

You need to fill in " United

Way donor choice form” at the time you fill in your

" United Way pledge form "

If you do not fill in this " United Way donor choice” form, your contributions will go to the

United Way Organization in the county where you live.

 

Although VMS is not a direct member of

" United Way " most United Way campaign programs have no problem in forwarding /

directing the money to any charities that you are interested (must be

501©(03) public charity) and designate it on the " United

Way donor choice form”

 

Another way, is to use the “Flex Funds”. These days many United Way

Campaigns are allowing this concept where your contributions will be in

Flexible account, from where you can direct your contributions at any time in

smaller installments during the next 3 plus years. This way you will have a

choice of directing your contributions as the year passes, to any charitable

trust including your local Fire Fund etc.

 

Check with your company United Way

Representative for details.

 

If you have any other questions please

let me know.

 

Regards

Janardhan
