The past few months things may have seemed a little quiet for Purposeful Gift, but let me assure you – behind the scenes things have been quite busy.

Yesterday, we reaped the reward of one of our behind the scenes projects in the form of an early “Christmas Gift” of sorts… a letter from the IRS approving Purposeful Gift for our 501c3 non-profit status!!!! We are very excited to announce that we are no longer just a website, but a fully functional non-profit organization with recognition from both the state of Ohio and the IRS. We were granted our non-profit organization status from the state of Ohio back in November, but decided not share publicly until receiving approval from the IRS as well. Talk about a Merry Christmas!!! Our 501c3 will allow us to accept tax deductible donations and purchase supplies tax free. Our hope is that we will be able to continue to raise awareness and share accurate information about neonatal donation options, but on a much larger scale.

We have several more things that we are excited about sharing in the next few weeks, including a new resource, so please stay tuned. We would like to wish you each a Christmas filled with hope and joy this year.
