It ain't square debit dog! You a wise mon! I encourage Americans to donate through the US since gifts given here or sent here are not legally tax deductible. My Franciscan province in Cincinnati processes gifts for us. You can send a check, payable to Franciscan Friars, to FriarWorks, St. Francis Friary, 1615 Vine Street, Cincinnati, OH 45202. We are a 501(c)(3) outfit. Note that you want the gift to come to me here in Negril. They will send 100% of your gift--wiring it into our account--and they will send an acknowledgment letter good for tax purposes. You can also go online and make a credit card gift--www.franciscan.org--click on donate. Or call them at 1-513-721-4700 x 3218 and they will take the info over the phone. I know all this because I used to be the director of that office before I came here--best job in my province. What was I thinking? Thanks for asking because others probably were thinking the same! --Fr. Jim
