FAQ
How do donations work?
Tax deductible donations help support the efforts of Keep RC Beautiful. Donations may be made anonymously, in memory or honor of someone else, or on behalf of a business. We appreciate your support!

Tax deductible online donations are available here or, if you are unable to donate electronically, you can send a check or money order to Keep RC Beautiful, PO Box 834, Rutherfordton, NC 28139. Make the check payable to "Community Foundation of Henderson County" with "KRCB" in the memo line. If you would like to direct your donation to a certain project, please make sure to include specific instructions for what the money is to be used for.
