DONATIONS

TSAR is a registered non-profit corporation, a 501-C3.

We receive no funding from any Federal, State, County or Municipal entity. We function solely on donations from private individuals and companies.

Individuals on the team are expected to purchase their own personal gear. The funds that we receive are used to maintain our two rescue/command center vehicles, repair and replace team equipment (such as litters, ropes, climbing hardware, medical, and radios), cover insurance costs, pay for medical training, and cover any other expenses incurred in operating our organization.


Please send donations to:

Taos Search and Rescue
PO BOX 1912
Taos, NM 87571

We want to thank everyone in our community who generously included TSAR in their annual giving during our anuual fund drive in September. Without this very critical annual drive, our team could not continue to offer search and rescue services to our community. Please visit all the pages of our site to see what services your valuable contributions support.

ADDITIONAL FUNDRAISING

Taos SAR has been awarded a Federal Grant toward the purchase of a new Rescue Command Vehicle. Our current command vehicle is getting very old and will soon become unreliable.

 

TSAR MUST MATCH THESE GRANT MONIES IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE OF THIS VEHICLE BY SPRING 2007 OR LOOSE THE GRANT MONEY AWARDED US.

 

If you know of any business or individual that would like to make a considerable donation to this end, please have them contact our President, Sue Felser at: 505.751.4944

Thank you!

 

 

We would like to extend a special thanks to the following businesses for their generous, ongoing support of Taos Search and Rescue through their invaluable gifts of services:

Quality Inn of Taos provides us with a meeting room for our monthly general meeting and classroom trainings, as well as any needed equipment (e.g. VCR, TV and overhead projector) to better facilitate our trainings at no charge.

Taos Net provides us e-mail, website hosting, and technical support of these services as a yearly donation.

H&R Block gives us the use of their offices to hold our monthly board meetings.

Rio Grande Ace Hardware gave a generous donation for the TSAR K-9 Unit to build an agility course for training their search K-9's. Stay tuned...pictures of the completed agility course will be coming to the site in the Springtime!

It is through the help and support of community leaders such as those businesses listed above that enables Taos Search & Rescue to continue to serve the people of New Mexico.
