Are my contributions Tax Deductable?
Donations to charity are tax deductible expenses. These donations can reduce your taxable income and lower your tax bill. Not everyone will be able to deduct their charitable contributions, however. You will need to itemize your tax deductions in order to claim any charity.
"You may deduct charitable contributions of money or property made to qualified organizations if you itemize your deductions." (IRS Publication 78)

What does The Longhorn Foundation need most?
Right now our focus is on raising funds to save programs from budget cuts or to help maintain those programs that are still available.
One of our major projects for Rancho Buena Vista is to provide remodeling to restroom facilities on campus. Through a combination effort of donated materials, labor and some contributions, we hope to have this project done by the end of 2010.

Where do the monies go?
The monies contributed go to the organized groups on campus as well as to facilities needs for RBV. Groups include sports, the arts, academic and social. At present The Foundation does not have a full time staff, but we hope to maintain a staff in the near future.

What is "Dinner @"?
"Dinner @" events are designed as fundraisers through local area businesses throughout the Vista & Oceanside area that are easily accessed by both the community, students and staff.
A local eatery designates an assigned day that The Foundation and RBV acknowledge and promote to go and have "Dinner @". Proceeds from that day(s) receipts are collected and then donated back to The Foundation and those monies can then be used for supporting programs and students back on campus. It's a WIN-WIN for everyone.
