Charitable items may be purchased through mail order using check or money order in US Funds made out to The Pearl Foundation, and are then deductible within the limits of the law. If you wish to take this option, please email us first!

If you purchase through Paypal, your purchase amount will go right into the Pearl Foundation account.

Charitable items purchased through the website using credit cards will NOT be fully deductible, as those cards are credited to the Rude Girl/Revenge Touring/Janis Ian account. Monies from those items, however, will also be donated to the Pearl Foundation, and if your check has your name and address on it, we are glad to send you a letter telling the tax people that your money went directly to an IRS-approved 501(c)(3) tax-deductible charity organization....

We're happy to entertain any reasonable offer for a Pearl Foundation contribution. See "Make Pearl An Offer!" below for more information.
