What is the value of the benefit received (DVD and poster) to compute the deductible part of a donation? If the benefit is received in 2014, is the value of the benefit still deducted from the donation?

Thank you, Thank you. Your work is so important to me and my students. You have given a voice for all of us who don't know how to be heard. Thank you so much. -From Korean Heritage House, Jang-mi Korean Dance & Drum, and Brooke Jee-in Newmaster. I wish we could give much more to support this project!
Creator Pages LA on July 29, 2012
Amazing! All the best!
My Multi-Ethnic online City Guide promotes multiculturalism and supports diverse communities, and the Korean among them.
I look forward to seeing more of the project in future.
Creator The Castles on July 28, 2012
This project sounds fabulous. We are a mother and daughter brought together by adoption (from Korea). Today we have a blog called "Don't We Look Alike?" on Wordpress about adoption. We just found your project via another blog and have re-blogged it today. Hope it helps you meet your goal!

You are so close! Keep pushing, good luck!
Creator Hanni Beyer Lee on July 27, 2012
I am thrilled to be a backer. I have three daughters all adopted from China at older ages (like Deann) and they have always loved Deann's films and related to them on a very deep lever, as have I. We can't wait to see this next one - it promises to profound and beautiful.
Creator jody on July 13, 2012
HI Deann,
I saw you at the gathering in Paris this year but did not get the pleasure meeting you personally. I have never seen your films but just seeing the preview touches my heart. I wish great luck !!!
Creator Sun Mee Chomet on July 11, 2012

Creator Tim Huey on July 1, 2012
Keep up the amazing work Deann! I remember seeing In the Matter of Cha Jung Hee in San Jose as part of SFIAAFF 2010; I'm glad you are continuing to explore these fascinating, impactful stories and I will definitely spread the word.
Creator Sarah Pradt on June 26, 2012
