Tax Receipts
To encourage donations at your hospital, the myBalto Foundation will provide tax receipts to all donors who give through the hospital's customized donation website.
Show Your Clients You Care
You can never show your donors enough appreciation for their support of your patients, but it can be time consuming! The myBalto Foundation emails every pet owner a thank you note from your hospital, emphasizing the importance of their donation.
FAQ
Is the myBalto Foundation a registered non-profit or 501(c)(3)?
Yes, the the myBalto Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) and holds a tax-exempt status with the IRS.
Individuals who donate to the myBalto Foundation are eligible to claim a tax deduction on their tax return. We are also a registered non-profit in Canada as well!
How much does it cost to use the myBalto Charitable Fund?
Our goal is to help as many vet hospitals as we can and the best way to do that is to offer the myBalto Charitable Fund as a FREE service. However, to help cover our overhead costs, we only take 10% of the funds accumulated by each hospital. Fortunately, this number will only get smaller as more hospitals come on board as our long-term goal is 6%.
Are there any restrictions to what veterinarians can use their hospital's Charitable Fund for?
We think this goes without saying, but the only true restriction is no "cosmetic" procedures (i.e. lipoma removals, ear cropping, tail docking, etc). The goal of this fund is to serve as a last resort when options such as Care Credit, Scratch Pay, and other financial options have been exhausted.
How long does it take for our hospital to be reimbursed for the funds?
Once you submit the final vet bill and the claim is approved, we can initiate the transfer of funds within the next 2-3 business days depending on your bank.
Do you help all animals?
Yes! From hamsters to horses, we believe all animals deserve a "paw" from time-to-time. Zoo animals included!
Do you integrate with my practice information management system (PIMS)?
Yes, we are integrated with over 95% of the PIMS available including Avimark, Cornerstone, ezyVet, Shepherd, and many more (see list below for details)! If you don't see your PIMS available, please email us at foundation@mybalto.com as we may have already started the integration process or can reach out to them on your behalf.
