How to donate to this forum

Please familiarize yourself with our policies and procedures for travel. We truly appreciate you taking the time to participate in this meeting. As you make your plans please remember that we are a nonprofit organization dependent on donations and volunteers so we do NOT pay for upgrades, change fees, incurred costs resulting from a flight change, transportation to or from your local airport, meals or other incidentals.

Accomodations & Meals

Accomodations & Meals are provided by the foundation during the meeting. Once your travel form is received your accommodations and airport transfer will be confirmed. We encourage you to book your travel early. Please let us know of any food allergies or issues on the travel forms.

Travel Reimbursement

You will receive a travel allowance in your meeting packet based on average flight fares 6 months prior to the meeting.
Flights must be booked at least 30 days prior to the meeting to confirm your accommodations and airport transfer.
Travel Allowance will not be increased due to late booking or changes.
Participants MUST provide the Foundation with copies of travel receipts to receive the travel allowance, otherwise the Foundation must report amounts of $600 or more to the US Internal Revenue Service on a 1099 Form.
