As mentioned by Rabbi Shulman in last week’s HEArtbeat, we are elated to have reached our 2024 Pathways goal. Our accounting team has been busy sending out tax forms this week to our 2024 donors. While we appreciate the ongoing generosity of our members and other donors, per IRS requirements, we needed to set a deadline for 2024 tax eligibility of January 10, 2025. Any donations dated for 2024 but received after the January 10, 2025 date will be applied toward the 2025 tax year. Please reach out to Steve Levine at steve@headenver.orgwith any questions.
