Story Behind the Picture
You are out for a casual stroll this balmy afternoon. You walk out from the shadows into the bright sunlight. Off to your right is a waterfall, flowing with energy. The world is good.
Then it hits you. Back in the shadows you just left, off in the distance ahead, perhaps just over the wall beside the falls, the world is full of complex problems. You remember reading Chimorel’s vision. Let’s see, it said:
“We are all connected at a profoundly deep level. Rather than wax eloquently about the Universe, Love, quantum physics, non-judgment, existence, Ego, God, quiet inner space consciousness, subtle peace deep within, and undercurrent of awareness, let’s focus on seven concerns that have both personal and global dimensions.”
- Health of our people.
- Elan of soil, water, air.
- Climate change.
- Financial prosperity.
- Global peace and individual viability.
- Extreme poverty.
- Unknown personal & global risk
Which of these potentially existential threats is most important to the people in your life … to you. When people are looking down at you in your casket, what do you want them to say?
This is the Story Behind the Picture in your life. What you decide to do about it and take real action steps to accomplish will make all the difference. You will make a decision. Did you take the one less traveled and make the world a little better?
For Your Protection
Any time someone from Chimorel asks you for a donation, to become a member or to enter a program:
First ask for their name. If they don’t give it to you, they don’t represent Chimorel. If you would like, they can then take you to our website where their picture is posted as an Authorized Fund Raiser, so you can be sure they are from Chimorel.
Second, do not to give a donation, pay a membership fee or pay for a program directly to anyone claiming to be from Chimorel.
To become a member click: Become a Member or use the QR code provided.
A link used to enter each program is attached to that program.
When someone is approved to take cash at a Chimorel auction, sponsored event or meeting, they will be clearly identified as a Registration Person and have a cash box or credit card device.
An Authorized Chimorel Fund Raiser may suggest you send a donation or fee to our address and provide you with an envelope. In some cases they may give you a direct deposit slip you can use to make an ACH transaction or direct deposit.
In many cases they probably will take you to Donate Now, or give you a QR code where you can make a donation on line.

Donations Are Tax Deductible
Chimorel Services Inc is a 501(c)(3) Ohio corporation. Donations to Chimorel are tax deductible. You can view our current IRS Form 990, our IRS Letter of Determination and related compliance issues. Chimorel’s Tax ID Number is 023-7227852.
If you have 20+ computer systems and are located near Columbus, OH, we can make arrangements to pick up your donated systems and dispose of them safely for you. If you have less than twenty systems, you can bring them to a drop off location. If you have laptops that work, we may be able to cover the shipping costs anywhere in the United States.

When you donate your car to a charity you want to 1) Do some Research. 2) Verify the tax exempt status of the charity. 3) Understand the deduction amounts. 4) Collect the tax deduction documentation. 5) Understand the amount going to the charity. 6) Transfer the title.
Gifting cars, trucks, motorcycles and other vehicles to charity is becoming a favorite way to dispose of unwanted vehicles. You want to research the charity you donate to, including verifying its tax exempt status, Chimorel is a 501(c)(3) charity. Donations are tax deductible and can be verified here.
When a donated car is resold by a third party, the “gavel price” is your deductible value, meaning what the charity receives is your tax deduction. For many charities this price may be far less than the fair market value. Because Chimorel Group LLC is the dealer your deductible value can be much closer to the fair market value and sometimes higher when a purchaser wants to support our efforts. Group will be seeking the highest value, like any other dealer might. Group donates the full value, less expenses like transfer fees, of the proceeds to Chimorel and affiliate charities from cars sold at its auctions and otherwise. We also use Chimorel Bucks to provide fair market value to volunteers and others receiving our cars, which may qualify for a higher value donation. No third parties are involved.
For your tax write off you will need a) a receipt from Chimorel establishing what we received for the car. 2) the year, make, model and VIN. 3) Our statement indicting that you received no goods or services for your donation and that the vehicle was sold between unrelated parties. You will transfer title before your vehicle leaves your property to avoid liability. Chimorel will transfer title to the new owner.

You can trade your volunteer hours for Chimorel Bucks to spend at the event.
Chimorel volunteers are very special people and they earn special rewards. As a voting member, one of the most powerful rewards you receive is your Recommendation Privilege.

We look forward to working with you as a Chimorel volunteer and giving you all the special rewards you earn.
Chimorel Says Thank You
Of course we thank you for donating to Chimorel or a Chimorel Special Project, but sometimes we also offer Thank You Gifts to show our appreciation. Being directed to this area from a Special Project, affiliate charity, fund raising event or a Go Fund Me campaign, means you qualify to receive a gift as shown below according to the level of your donation. Thank you again. We most certainly appreciate your support! Coming here by clicking a link in our nonprofit area or donation area, does not necessarily mean you qualify for a thank you gift. A thank you gift may remove part or all of the tax deductibility of your donation. See the notations below.
- $7-$24 Certificate of Appreciation, Membership in Chimorel’s Celebration Family, Newsletter.
- $25-$74 Celebration Family, Newsletter, 1-3 CDs of your choice.
- $75-$124 Celebration Family, Newsletter, 48 can inflatable cooler, Scrip PrestoPay.

- $350+ Certificate of Appreciation. Create a Career Program for person of your choice.
- Real Estate Donation as agreed.
When you make a donation to Chimorel through a fund raising campaign or another way which entitles you to a Thank You gift, be sure we have your email, phone and birthday, so we can make arrangements for you to receive your gift.
Without your email, the gift essentially becomes an altruistic donation. To receive your tax deductible receipt we still need your email. In most cases receipt of a thank you gift reduces or negates the tax deductibility. To join our Celebration Family we also need your birthday. Your phone solves any problems that arise.
The gifts listed above are described more completely below. These gifts will change periodically, based on the availability of an item. Whenever an item becomes out of stock, we will replace it with an item of equal or greater value.

You are going to shop at these stores anyway. Major retailers, groceries, gas stations, cinemas and other vendors encourage shopping at their stores by providing a discount to nonprofits through a Scrip program which Chimorel participates in. Scrip is a significant way for a nonprofit to get their constituents involved. It is painless, other than doing a little advance planning, and you are going to spend the money one way or another. The average family can generate approximately $600 or more each year. When 10, 20, 100 families get involved the amount available gets to be significant rather quickly.
To cover the cost of potential bounced checks, Chimorel asks each new Raise Right family to become a Starter member. A Starter membership gives you Presto Pay privileges through ACH technology, which enables you to renew or initiate your Raise Right cards almost instantly. You reduce the time between the desire to purchase and the ability to use your cards to actually purchase.
You don’t have to use Presto Pay, but you most likely will want to as you realize that it can take a week or so to get Raise Right Cards without Presto Pay and something similar each time you want to renew a Raise Right card. You will enjoy speeding the planning process significantly, especially when you take advantage of many Raise Right cards. Click the link above to learn more.

Action Planning Member with Special Project
Donation is not tax deductible
When you become an Action Planner who chooses to initiate a Chimorel Special Project you will receive an eBook called Create A Chimorel Special Project. Creating a Chimorel Special Project involves developing the resources required to achieve a significant goal or solve a major problem. You apply for a Chimorel Special Project by becoming an Action Planner, paying the membership fee and indicating your interest in initiating a Special Project for a specific purpose.
Your application is assigned to a Planner for guidance. The planner may work alone or with a committee and will determine specific criteria you need to achieve to complete your Special Project. When you agree to complete these criteria, you have established a Chimorel Special Project.
There are three levels of Special Projects: 1st Level = $2500 to $25,000. 2nd Level = $25,000 to $500,000. 3rd Level = $500,000 and up. You successfully complete a First Level Special Project before moving to the Second Level. You may repeat a First Level Special Project as many times as necessary before you are ready to move on. Then you complete a Second Level Special Project, which you can repeat as appropriate, before being eligible to initiate a Third Level Special Project.
At each level your Application Fee is approximately 10% of the amount of funding you seek. Above $250 you will determine with your Planner/Committee certain criteria as part of determining what you need to do to accomplish your Special Project. Establishing these criteria can be time consuming or rapid fire depending mostly on your determination to develop a successful Special Project.
Although cash may be required to solve many problems and achieve many goals, cash is not the only resource you will require. You will also require time, energy, supplies, equipment, mindset and Sources of Strength. A very important resource is mindset. We will discuss mindset, when you are ready.
Altruistic Action Planning Member
Donation is tax deductible
An Altruistic Action Planning Member donates his/her/their membership to a Chimorel Special Project and uses our goal setting area to set, reality test and achieve their goals. This is the default choice if you do not begin to establish a Special Project within approximately one week of becoming a member.
Create a Career Program
$350+ Value
Donation is not tax deductible
Chimorel’s Create a Career program has been taught at two separate colleges. A student who earned his / her “$10,000 A” had a job by the end of the ten week class. We guarantee you will have a job by the end of three months, if you truly go above and beyond during this 30 hour/week three month very intensive program.
You can learn more about this program by clicking the link above. Be careful though, after a warning or two, your exploration could spend many hours. You can learn a skill or two and begin to take steps to get a job now right from the link above.
Real Estate Donation
Donation is tax deductible and can eliminate properety taxes
Chimorel will be acquiring a substantial real estate portfolio intended to generate an approximate 2% cash flow to support its programs like: Auctions, Rent to Own, Transitional Housing, Work 4 Rent, $1000>$5000 and more.
Every property Chimorel acquires will come with a substantial property donation. If you would like to learn more, click the link above.
You can buy stuff at an Auction event, as briefly discussed above, but you can support Chimorel, a favorite charity and your Special Project in many other ways as well. You are already going to buy the stuff anyway. You’ve set aside the money. You know what you want. Why not make your purchase count for more than the items you buy.
We have an eBay store, a Scrip program, affiliate programs and a shopping mall. When you buy stuff through any of these programs a portion of the purchase price is donated to Chimorel. When you click the Buy Stuff link on almost any page you will enter the area where buying stuff can lead to donations.
Our Scrip program can donate funds to Chimorel when you buy stuff from most major vendors in the United States. Here are just a few of hundreds of vendors where your shopping donates 2 to 18% from vendors like:
Amazon, AMC Theatres, American Airlines, Barnes & Noble, Block Buster, Burger King, Boston Market, BP Gas, Dell, Domino’s Pizza, Exxon, Giant Eagle, GNC, Halllmark, Home Depot, JC Penney, KFC, Kmart, Limited, Lowe’s, Macy’s, Marriott, Meijer, Mobil, Office Max, Radio Shack, Red Lobster, Sears, Sam’s Club, Staples, Walgreens, Wal-Mart.
At our online Chimorel4U ebay and website stores you can purchase items acquired by Chimorel Group LLC, which covers administrative costs for and donates profits to Chimorel Services Inc. Items donated to Chimorel are also sold through this system, as well. We have a shopping mall on our website. We hold auction events. We give you many ways to support changing lives and making the world better with the money you are going to spend anyway. Keeping for profit activities separate from nonprofit activities avoids IRS & UBIT concerns.
