Contributions to Globe Santa are tax-deductible as charitable contributions as defined under state and federal laws as provided by IRS Code Section 501(c)(3). Globe Santa provides no goods or services to you in exchange for this contribution. What's more, your company may participate in an employee matching gifts program. Please inquire at your company and take advantage of doubling your donation. Donors who contribute $250.00 or more will receive a letter of receipt from the Globe Foundation by mail as your donations are received and no later than January 16, 2009 for IRS tax purposes.

Donor Listings
Beginning in early December, in addition to stories about families assisted through this program, The Boston Globe publishes a list of individuals and groups (over 9,000 listings in 2007) who have donated to the Globe Santa Fund. Donations can be made anonymously, in memory of another, or as one of Santa's Friends.

Recognizing the donations in print is done as space allows and in the order that donations are received. In the past we have had many calls from contributors who wanted to know when a particular donation was recognized in print. To give donors immediate access to this information, we have provided the ability to search online to find the publication date of a donation.

In addition to the daily stories and lists of donors, we also print pictures of people donating. These pictures typically capture group donations, such as school and college groups, business firms, restaurants, etc.

Groups or organizations are encouraged to call 617-929-8777 to schedule a picture when making a donation to The Boston Globe's Globe Santa.
