MISSION: The mission of the New England Amateur Skating Foundation is to help competitive
skaters by defraying some of their ever-increasing expenses. With many skaters in need of support,
the Foundation, a tax exempt organization, offers the opportunity of sponsorship to anyone who
would like to help.
What is the New England Amateur Skating Foundation (NEASF)? The NEASF is a non-profit
organization whose purpose is to assist competitive amateur skaters. All Regional, Sectional,
National, and International skaters are eligible for assistance.
How does the NEASF work? Donations are received from both individuals and corporations. The
monies collected are then used to defray skating-related expenses such as ice time, lessons, costumes,
equipment, and travel.
How are the funds allocated? The NEASF Allocations Committee reviews its information about a
skater and allocates funds accordingly. Information reviewed includes comments and
recommendations of clubs, professionals and donors, as well as the experience and competitive level
of the skater.
How does a skater receive money from the fund? The skater must submit a bill or bills signed by
the skater as well as the head coach. If the skater is under 18 years of age, the bill(s) mush be signed
by a parent and the head coach. Payment is made directly to the vendor or provider of the services.
What percent of my donation actually goes to the skaters? One hundred percent. The NEASF
charges no fees and there are no deductions of any kind. All of the operating expenses of the
Foundation are paid by volunteers. All donations are used to help the skaters.
Are donations tax-deductible? The NEASF is tax-exempt under 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue
Code. Donations, therefore, are usually deductible. You should consult with your tax accountant or
advisor as to how your contribution is to be treated.

| Due to the overwhelming cost of skating, approximately $30,000 annually, Alexandria is sincerely hoping that people will read about her and wish to help her financially so she may continue training and achieving her goal of becoming an elite skater. Alexandria and her family are committed; her passion, dedication, and talent are undeniable. There are two ways to sponsor Alexandria. The main difference is that donations received in Alexandria's name through the NEASF are usually tax exempt and those received by "A Skater's Dream" are not. If you have questions regarding sponsoring Alexandria, please e-mail admin@alexandriasouthard.com and write "SPONSORSHIP" in the subject line and you will be contacted. Lastly, please know that no amount is too small. All donation will make a difference in Alexandria achieving her dream. Thank you. |
