Your tax-deductible donations have played a vital role in helping us fulfill our mission of empowering released offenders with housing, employment and recovery support. Thanks to your generosity, we are able to provide employment placement, which equip individuals with the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to secure sustainable employment and achieve self-sufficiency. Thank you!
The list below gives approximate values for how much items typically sell for at local thrift shops and donation centers. Use the price ranges as a general guide to assess the value to claim on your tax return. Valjean Society cannot assign a tax value for you.
The rules governing valuation, substantiation, record keeping and reporting can be quite complex, however. We, therefore, recommend downloading IRS Publication 526 and IRS Publication 561 from the IRS website and/or consulting a tax advisor if your situation so warrants.
