Full Basket Belize was founded in 2005 when a group of friends pooled donations to create a scholarship fund for students of Stann Creek, Belize. Since then more than 500 scholarships have been awarded and dozens of community grants have been provided — all thanks to your donations.

FBB has 501c3 non-profit status in the USA, so donations may be tax-deductible. More importantly, since FBB is a purely volunteer-run non-profit organization, every dollar donated goes much further than it would otherwise.

Please Support Full Basket Belize

Easy Ways to Donate:

  • Make a secure donation using your credit or debit card through PayPal by clicking the Donate button on this email or from our website www.fullbasketbelize.org. (Please consider helping us cover transaction costs for the highest impact.)
  • Navigate to Facebook.com/FullBasketBelize and look for the blue Donate button on the far right side of the page.
  • Mail a paper check to: Full Basket Belize, 6016 NE Birch St., Hillsboro, OR 97124. (This option also saves FBB on processing fees.)
  • Become a sustaining donor at PayPal and give any amount monthly, starting at $1/month.

Help us Fundraise:

  • Honor someone with a Facebook Fundraiser.  In the Search Facebook area at the upper lefthand side of any Facebook page, enter the word Fundraiser.  Then follow the directions on how to create a fundraiser benefitting Full Basket Belize.
  • Corporate Match.  Check with your employer to see if they will match or double your donation.  We are registered with Benevity, Your Cause, and Amgen Foundation Matching Gifts Program.  We will register with other organizations as requested — just contact us.
  • Make a Qualified Charitable Donation (QCD).  If you have a qualified retirement account and are 70-1/2 years old or older, then you are required to withdraw a minimum amount from your qualified retirement accounts every year.  (This is called a Required Minimum Distribution, or RMD, and is taxable.)  If you donate all or any part of your RMD directly from your qualified retirement account to a non-profit, such as Full Basket Belize, then you won’t have any tax liability for the QCD!  Donating funds directly from your retirement account to your favorite charity is easy, and all of the money goes to the charity, none to the government.
