Sees Community Fund

“$533 in gift cards or other credits donated from See's Candy to See's Community Fund used to offset the cost of candy purchased. This was primarily due to candy with short-expiration dates which needed to be written off from inventory because they could not be sold.”

“$2,970 was paid in Direct Grants to 7 low-income cancer patients to pay for mileage to travel to cancer-related medical appointments. Patients completed forms which included self-declaration of their monthly income, and proof of upcoming oncology appointments. $342 was paid to a hospital for two low income women who received mammograms or ultrasounds. The hospital provided invoices and gave See's Community Fund the medicare rate discount. The women were pre-screened by See's Community Fund to assure they were income eligible. $4,630 was paid to four nonprofits who provide volunteers to work in the candy store throughout the year. In exchange for volunteering, the nonprofits receive 10% of the gross profit for the day.”

“$241 General Office Supplies, $500 General Liability Insurance, $756 Telephone/Fax, $61 Dues and fees, $1978 Bank and Credit Card Fees.”

“See's Community Fund has no donors who contributed $5,000 or more this year, therefore the organization is exempt from filing Form 990EZ Schedule B.”
