HOW TO AVOID DONATIONS FOR TYHPOON VICTIMS FROM BEING TAXED AT CUSTOMS
In behalf of all pinoys and the victims of typhoon Ondoy. I would like to thank you for your generous heart and desire to make a difference to the Phlippines.
In the spirit of Bayanihan (cooperation), generous fellow pinoys and even our compassionate foreign friends have organized themselves and are preparing their generous donations to be shipped to the Philippines to assist those who have been affected by the flooding brought about by typhoon Ondoy.
According to this article, the government has set up a multi-agency one-stop shop system to facilitate receipt & delivery of goods sent for the benefits of victims brought about by typhoon Ondoy & Pepeng. Foreign donations coursed through DSWD therefore will be tax-free.
A number of pinoys though have expressed their concern about the government system and prefer to send donations through private NGOs instead. Here are some instructions:
DONATIONS TO WORLDVISION DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION INC.
Donations in kind are welcome & can be sent directly (door-to-door) to their Quezon City Headquarters in
WORLDVISION DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION
c/o David Liban
389 Quezon Avenue corner West 6th Street,
Diliman, Quezon City Philippines
Please send an email to wv_phil@wvi.org or call +632 3727777 to inform them about this donation including all the details of the shipment and you will receive a letter of acceptance will be given as well as proper coordination.
Worldvision will make an inventory of the donations and coordinate directly with the DSWD for declaration as well with the local government units (LGU) for distribution.
Those abroad who wish to send in monetary donations to this organization are also encouraged in order to avoid the hassle of shipping. This is a Christian, private and credible organization that uses up only 6-8% of annual financial contributions for administration expense while the rest goes to beneficiaries.
To know more about Worldvision Dev't Foundation, you may check out their website.
As a celebrity advocate for Worldvision for 7 years now, I can vouch in behalf of Worldvision that donations that are made listed for the Relief Operation Fund will go to the typhoon victims. Please remember too include this note in your donation. All monetary donations must be accounted for in order for it to be used immediately and for the purpose it was made. Unaccounted donations will float in the account unused for 6 months so please indicate all cash donations for the Relief Operation Fund.
For monetary donations made through bank deposit, instructions are listed on this page.
For online donations to Worldvision, click here for the online form.
THANK YOU!
