Making Donations

Your generous donations are essential to the success of our medical relief project in Ecuador. We are currently accepting both financial and material support and extend our sincere thanks to you for providing a brighter future to those who need a helping hand. Donations can be made in the following ways:

Financial Donations

Financial donations benefit to our partner organization in Ecuador to fund critical medical procedures and the purchase of medical equipment and medication beyond what is donated to us. To contribute to the national chapter you can either

  1. Make a check out to "Timmy Foundation" with "Purdue" in the memo line and mail it to:

    Timmy Foundation
    22 E. 22nd Street
    Indianapolis, IN, 46202
  2. Make a secure, online credit card donation to the national foundation. Purdue's chapter works with Tierra Nueva in Ecuador, but donations can be directed to any cause you deem worthy.

Remember, the Timmy Foundation is a 501(c)3 organization, and all donations are tax deductible to the maximum amount allowed by law. If you would like to receive a receipt for your donation, please email our director of finance, Rachana Raghothama at rraghoth@purdue.edu.
