Although we do not accpet donation anymore, there are other ways for you to donate for the earthquake. We have listed 5 other ways to donate, please visit our forum for details. http://studentorgs.vanderbilt.edu/cssa/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=515
we are talking with school to find out either write a check or wire transfer all the donations to Red Cross Society of China (RCSC). Also, we have emailed our Chancellor Nicholas S. Zeppos to ask for donation to china and/or match donations. We will send out as soon as possible once we get feedback from school and Chancellor. This weekend is Memorial Day weekend, many staff in our school have taken Friday off and will not be back to the office before next Tuesday, this would delay a little bit about the transfer. We will keep you updated once we send the donation out soon.
About the receipt for each donor: ISSS told us about the IRS policies for tax return, which is that the donation for a foreign organization outside the United States is not elligible for tax return. Other ways of donation, like through Chinese Embassy, couldn't issue tax deductiable receipts either. However, ISSS and VUCSSA are preparing receipts who need it for your own record or company gift match. Please email sha...@vanderbilt.edu with your name, contact information, format of donation and amount.We will inform you the time and place to pick it up. Unfortunately, this receipt couldn't be used for tax purpose.
I have posted this email on the forum, please leave your comments and suggestions below, if any.

We hope this donation would represent our love and support to our people in China and help them in the most needed ways. Thanks for all your support and understanding.
