2. Are donations tax deductible?

Yes. The St. Christopher Fund is a 501(c)(3), non-profit organization, which means that all donations made to the organization are tax deductible. You will receive a postcard that indicates how much you donated. If you donate over $200, you will also receive a formal letter after the end of the year, which can be used for tax filing purposes.

6. How does this process work?

After receiving your completed application, the medical release form is sent to your doctor along with a request for records. Once the records have been received, members of the Review Committee review your application. The Review Committee typically meets every Wednesday. After a decision has been made, you will receive a call. If you are approved for financial assistance, you will be asked to provide a copy of the bill(s) to which you want the money will go towards. Payments are sent to companies directly.
