Practical implication: If you are a U.S. taxpayer who itemizes deductions, donations to Bakara 195 can be claimed as charitable contributions on your federal return. They can also be claimed on most state returns. Please retain your donation receipt (emailed automatically after each gift); annual giving statements are available on request from receipts@bakara195.org.

What we are doing

With 501(c)(3) recognition secured, Bakara 195 is now focused on:

1. Scaling operational track record across Ramadan, Qurbani, and year-round emergency relief
2. Publishing first-year financial audit (December 2026)

4. Building scholar advisory board (forming Q3 2026)
5. Pursuing Charity Navigator, Candid (GuideStar) Seal of Transparency, and BBB Wise Giving Alliance accreditations

Donor-Advised Funds (DAF) and appreciated assets

Because Bakara 195 is an IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) public charity, several tax-efficient giving methods are available to U.S. donors:

• Donor-Advised Fund (DAF): recommend a grant directly to Bakara 195 Corporation from your DAF (e.g., Fidelity Charitable, every.org, Daffy) using our legal name and EIN (provided on your receipt).
• Appreciated stock: donating long-held appreciated securities can avoid capital-gains tax and qualify for a fair-market-value deduction — see our stock donation page.
• Cryptocurrency: crypto gifts of appreciated assets carry similar advantages — see our crypto donation page.

U.K., Canada, Australia, and other jurisdictions

Bakara 195 is not currently registered with the U.K. Charity Commission, Canadian Revenue Agency, Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission, or other foreign charity regulators. Donations from those jurisdictions are treated as gifts to a foreign nonprofit corporation. Local tax-deductibility rules vary; consult a local tax advisor.

Receipts

Every donation generates an automatic email receipt that includes:

• Receipt number, date, donor name (or "Anonymous"), amount
• Campaign / cause designation
• Bakara 195 Corporation legal information and Tax ID
• Statement: "No goods or services were provided in exchange for this contribution."
• 501(c)(3) tax-deductibility statement: donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by U.S. federal income tax law

The receipt is the official record of your donation. Keep it for your tax records; for U.S. donors who itemize, contributions to Bakara 195 are deductible as charitable gifts under IRS rules.

Deductibility claims backed by IRS recognition

Many young nonprofits use ambiguous language ("501(c)(3) Pending," "Tax Deductible*", etc.) to encourage donations without formal IRS recognition. The Federal Trade Commission and Wyoming Charitable Solicitation Act treat misleading deductibility claims as a form of consumer harm. Bakara 195 takes a deliberately conservative position: we only state deductibility we can back with our IRS determination letter — which we now hold as a recognized 501(c)(3) public charity.

That discipline builds long-term donor trust and aligns with our broader transparency commitments. Read our transparency report →
