Frequently asked questions
Is my purchase tax-deductible?
No. Because this is not a nonprofit fundraiser, purchases made here are not considered tax-deductible by the IRS or the state of Minnesota. Your support goes directly to Shane and his family.
Where does the money go?
100% of the net proceeds from this shop go directly into a dedicated account set up by Shane and his family to help cover medical costs and living expenses during treatment.
Why am I not being charged sales tax?
The products for this fundraiser were purchased personally (with sales tax already paid), and are being given as gifts of support. That means we don’t need to add sales tax again when you purchase.
How much of my purchase actually helps Shane’s family?
Aside from standard Shopify and credit card processing fees, all proceeds from your purchase go directly to Shane’s family.
Can I give a gift without receiving a product?
Yes! We’ve included a “Gift of Support” option in the shop if you’d like to contribute directly without receiving merchandise.
