I've Done My Part, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charity. Please donate and/or add our link to your web site, www.ivedonemypart.org . Our target audiences are the parents throwing a Bar/Bat Mitzvah party and the vendors who provide services for these parties. On our web site, under the "Charities" tab, www.ivedonemypart.org/charities, there is a list of more than 20 US based Jewish charities whom we support. All have been evaluated by us and most have received 3-4 stars by Charity Navigator, a non-profit organization who evaluates and rates other non-profits. The charities we support, must comply with our mission, which is to support child welfare, poverty, religious and Holocaust awareness and tolerance towards the betterment of the Jewish religion. Unlike other "conduit" type of charities, a charity who donates to other charities, IDMP donates 100% of all donations received from parents and children, eliminating the middleman. Our internal costs are covered by donations from vendors servicing Bar/Bat Mitzvah parties. Our overhead is low and approximately 90% of vendor donations will still go to the charity or charities requested by the vendor but the other 10% will go to I've Done My Part, Inc. to help with our internal administrative costs.
