Foundation for the American West
The Foundation for the American West (FAW) is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt public community foundation that offers you the opportunity to effectively build the quality of life in your community while receiving the most favorable tax treatment for charitable giving.
When you open a charitable giving account at FAW, you make an irrevocable contribution of cash, securities or other assets (appreciated assets are an especially advantageous way to give because you avoid paying capital gains tax) and receive a tax deduction for the full market value.

When Hannah Davis traveled to China to teach English, she noticed how Chinese workers and farmers were often sporting olive green army-style shoes. Those shoes served as her inspiration to create her own social enterprise, Bangs Shoes.
