Financial Projections →Tax-Deductible Donations
Mr. Jack is also available for support through charitable donation. The film is a fiscally sponsored project of From the Heart Productions, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization — meaning donations are tax-deductible under U.S. tax law. This is entirely separate from the investor structure described above and is intended for donors rather than financial investors.
