We are therefore unconditionally and rightfully able to offer to our contributors, tax-deductible contribution receipts in the amount of up to 50% of the yearly proceeds of said contributor whether said contributor is a human person, company or corporation.
I, the Overseer and managing officer of Zion CS, am under a vow of poverty (a legal contract not to receive personal benefit from contributions donated to Zion CS). All proceeds contributed to Zion CS will inure only to the benefit of Zion CS and should distribution of said proceeds be deemed expedient, said proceeds will be passed exclusively to other tax-exempt religious organizations of like mind and doctrine for carrying out the work of HaShem.
