Open Home Foun­da­tion Inter­na­tional (OHFI) is an incor­po­rated char­i­ta­ble trust reg­is­tered with the New Zealand Gov­ern­ment with Char­i­ties Com­mis­sion Number CC11061. After 29 years of work, you can donate with con­fi­dence. All dona­tions are tax deductible in full or in part.

Accep­tance of any con­tri­bu­tion, gift or grant is at the dis­cre­tion of the OHFI. The OHFI will not accept any gift unless it can be used or expended con­sis­tently with the purpose and mission of the OHFI.

No irrev­o­ca­ble gift, whether out­right or life-income in char­ac­ter, will be accepted if under any rea­son­able set of cir­cum­stances the gift would jeop­ar­dize the donor’s finan­cial security.

The OHFI will refrain from pro­vid­ing advice about the tax or other treat­ment of gifts and will encour­age donors to seek guid­ance from their own pro­fes­sional advis­ers to assist them in the process of making their donation.

The OHFI will accept dona­tions of cash or pub­licly traded secu­ri­ties. Gifts of in-kind ser­vices will be accepted at the dis­cre­tion of the OHFI.

Certain other gifts, real prop­erty, per­sonal prop­erty, in-kind gifts, non-liquid secu­ri­ties, and con­tri­bu­tions whose sources are not trans­par­ent or whose use is restricted in some manner, must be reviewed prior to accep­tance due to the special oblig­a­tions raised or lia­bil­i­ties they may pose for OHFI.

The OHFI will provide acknowl­edg­ments to donors meeting tax require­ments for prop­erty received by the charity as a gift. However, except for gifts of cash and pub­licly traded secu­ri­ties, no value shall be ascribed to any receipt or other form of sub­stan­ti­a­tion of a gift received by OHFI.

The OHFI will respect the intent of the donor relat­ing to gifts for restricted pur­poses and those relat­ing to the desire to remain anony­mous. With respect to anony­mous gifts, the OHFI will restrict infor­ma­tion about the donor to only those staff members with a need to know.

The OHFI will not com­pen­sate, whether through com­mis­sions, finders’ fees, or other means, any third party for direct­ing a gift or a donor to the OHFI.
