Turn Around Fund Tips
The use of the Turn Around Fund within ESA Foundation is simple and has some great benefits for reporting charitable contributions.
- Our donations allow the Foundation to maintain its status by having contributions to multiple charities.
- You write one check to ESA Foundation for multiple charities (if you pay for each check you write, that is a savings to you).
- The Foundation will deliver any St Jude monies directly to St Jude, guaranteeing the correct credit to ESA.
