Common questions

Common questions about giving.

  • Where does my donation go?
    We are a small, early-stage organization with two work areas: supporting those who experience childhood abuse, and advocating for state-level reform of mandated-reporting and clergy-related confidentiality law. In our first year of operating, gifts cover the foundational work: building out healing resources, tracking what is pending in fifty state legislatures, and the modest operating costs that keep the organization running.
  • Are my donations tax-deductible?
    Yes. Unheard Child Organization is a tax-exempt public charity under IRC Section 501(c)(3) (EIN 41-4621534), recognized by the IRS effective March 3, 2026. Contributions are tax-deductible under Section 170 to the extent allowed by law. Your Stripe receipt documents the amount and date of your gift; if you need a different format for your tax records, write to JPB@UnheardChild.org.
  • How do I know UCO is legitimate?
    Unheard Child Organization is a Colorado nonprofit corporation (Entity #20261274934) and an IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) tax-exempt public charity (EIN 41-4621534). We are operating publicly with our registered mailing address (P.O. Box 74, Mancos, CO 81328) and you are welcome to email any questions to our founder Jon-Paul Bouttier at jpb@unheardchild.org. We are committed to transparency as the organization grows: board composition, fiscal reporting, and program outcomes will be published as they become available.
