U.S. tax deductible donations
Thank you for joining with us in helping the youth here in Puerto Vallarta. You can be sure that whatever you do give will be used to enrich the lives of the children whose parents trust us to help them with academics, music, and sports. We are a part of a legal association here in Mexico but do not yet have 501C3 status as a charity in the U.S. Because of this, if you would like to make a tax deductible donation to our program from the United States you may do so by donating at one of our partner organizations websites. Be sure to indicate that your donation is intended for Club Vallarta. Our partner is the Children’s Shelter of Hope Foundation and their website is: https://cshf-us.org/

Their students attend elementary school either in the morning or the afternoon and come to Club Vallarta before or after school. Almost all these students function far below grade level. The goal of this academic program is to provide instruction that supplements the public-school curriculum and will result in higher levels of academic functioning.

Our coaches spend on average 6 hours per week training our kids in swimming, basketball, soccer or volleyball. We believe in the value of organized team sports. Not only does it teach kids discipline, teamwork, dealing with success and failure, goal setting and the value of practice, but it also provides kids from low-income families better self-esteem and an improved quality of life. We also believe in the value of having good coaches who serve as role models for our kids. Coaches often have a tremendous influence on a youngster and on their values and behaviors.
