Today, it has grown into a formal foundation, supporting both former students and new candidates with English language studies and full university education, empowering them to achieve their goals and pursue their dreams. We are already supporting 6 students in their university journey and our goal is to scale this impact by providing financial assistance, mentorship, language program support, career readiness, and networking opportunities that help students thrive and become leaders. For U.S. donors: ALZA Foundation, Inc. has officially received confirmation from the Internal Revenue Service that we are now recognized as a tax-exempt nonprofit organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Because our tax-exempt status is effective retroactively to our date of formation (November 10th, 2025), your contribution to ALZA Foundation is fully tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law, provided that no goods or services were received in exchange for the donation.For non-U.S. donors: Donations are collected in USD through GoFundMe, and your bank may charge conversion or foreign transaction fees. Tax deductions apply only under U.S. law, so contributions are generally not tax-deductible in other countries. At ALZA Foundation, Inc., we know that change starts with people like you. Every act of kindness, every dollar, and every moment of your time brings us closer to achieving our mission. By supporting ALZA, 100% of your contribution will be invested in the future of bright students and help build a more inclusive community&mdash;one student at a time. Thank you for believing in education, empowerment, and the transformative power of community. With gratitude,The ALZA Foundation Team
