Where your gift goes

Every donation is allocated to one of three programs you can choose — Housing, Education, or Research — or pooled under "Where Most Needed" for the board to deploy where the marginal dollar matters most that year.

We publish what we did with your contribution in the annual letter each January. No exceptions, no missing line items.

Become a sustaining donor

Year-round capital we can actually plan with.

Recurring monthly gifts turn fundraising from a once-a-year sprint into reliable, plannable capital. Even $25/month makes a meaningful difference for a foundation our size.

Mail to: 3255 McLeod Dr Suite 100, Las Vegas, NV 89121

IRA Qualified Charitable Distribution

If you're 70½ or older, you can make a QCD directly from your IRA to the foundation and exclude the amount from taxable income.

Your IRA custodian needs our address and EIN above.

In memory or in honor

A gift in memory of someone affected by cancer, or in honor of a teacher, mentor, or family member.

Email hello@zezulafoundation.org with the person's name and any address where you'd like us to send acknowledgement; we never include gift amounts.

Frequently asked

Donor FAQ

Is my gift tax-deductible? +
Yes. The Zezula Foundation is a §501(c)(3) public charity, EIN 93-4842735. Cash gifts are deductible up to 60% of your AGI; gifts of appreciated long-term securities up to 30% of AGI. Excess contributions can be carried forward five years. Consult your tax advisor for specifics.
What percentage of my gift goes to programs vs overhead? +
We're a small foundation and don't pay staff salaries. The vast majority of every dollar goes directly to programs. We publish a full financial accounting in the annual letter each January.
Can I designate my gift to a specific cause? +
Yes — choose Housing, Education, or Research at checkout. Designated gifts go entirely to that program. "Where Most Needed" gifts are deployed by the board across pillars based on annual priorities.
Can I give appreciated stock instead of cash? +
Yes, and for most donors this is more tax-efficient than cash. Email hello@zezulafoundation.org for DTC transfer instructions.
Does my employer match? +
Many do — including JPMorgan, Microsoft, Google, Bank of America, and most large financial firms. Search your employer's matching gift portal for "The Zezula Foundation" and EIN 93-4842735.
Can I cancel or modify a recurring gift? +
Yes, anytime, from the link in your receipt email or by writing to hello@zezulafoundation.org.
Is my donation private? +
Yes. We never sell, rent, or share donor information. The foundation publishes aggregate program spending, never individual donor records.
Where can I see the foundation's tax filings? +
We file Form 990 annually with the IRS. The filed return, our determination letter, and key governance policies are available on request via hello@zezulafoundation.org. Public filings will also appear on GuideStar/Candid.
