Additionally, please note that U.S. tax code (IRS Publication 1771) allows any donation amount to be itemized on taxes using any proof of donation (check stub, bank statement, donation summary, etc). If you have any questions about donations summaries, please contact treasurer@captphaneuf.org.

All of the leadership for the Captain Ryan Phaneuf Memorial Fund are unpaid volunteers; this has allowed us to keep operating costs historically around 3%.

This means that about 97 cents of every dollar received goes directly to helping fund needs-based scholarships and for memorials!
