Who receives your money

Organization roots: Costa Rica
Roots and operating base: Costa Rica programme and community roots; reviewed legal recipient based in United States.
Reviewed legal entity: Asociación Pro Cultura, Educación, Psicología de Infancia y Adolescencia (CEPIA) · Costa Rica
Named recipient: CEPIA INC (US receiving counterpart for CEPIA Costa Rica) · United States
Giving route: Official organization giving instructions

Reviewed route is the own-page Donar a CEPIA desde EEUU bank instruction, linking a City National Bank letter dated November 24, 2025 that explicitly names account and incoming-wire beneficiary CEPIA INC. This is a distinct US counterpart rather than a direct Costa Rican account. Check currency, transfer fees, recipient and current instruction directly; no payment or personal data submitted. Tax deductibility and onward settlement were not independently checked. Older 2021 fee guidance is not represented as current pricing.

Check whether gifts are restricted to a place or project, fees, currency, recurring-payment terms and eligibility. Read current terms before proceeding.

What we checked, and what remains uncertain

Minimum public-source checks passed on 2026-10-05: named identity, official presence, recent reported activity and an authorized giving route with an identifiable recipient.

Minimum public-source checks only. Identity and programme results may be organization-authored. Live registry standing, bank ownership, payment settlement, use of an individual gift and field outcomes were not independently audited. No payment made. Country evidence describes its stated reporting period, not guaranteed delivery today. CEPIA also offers alternative practices including homeopathy and access-bars sessions. These are excluded from reviewed services and from health/medical matching; no therapeutic efficacy is endorsed. General gifts support a wider portfolio and are not shown as ringfenced to the reviewed education or livelihood services. Reported employment outcomes include older graduates and are not claimed as 2025 causal impact.

Own 2025 annual report names Asociación Pro Cultura, Educación, Psicología de Infancia y Adolescencia (CEPIA), based in Guanacaste. Official US giving instruction names distinct receiver CEPIA INC, taxpayer ID 33-4621066. No live registry or tax-status audit.

Help beyond money

Read and share dated operational reporting. Volunteer acceptance, location and safeguarding requirements must be confirmed with the organization.

Read the dated activity source before sharing information. Respect consent, preserve context and correct errors. Explore ways to help beyond money.

After you contribute

Keep the confirmation and appeal terms. Most pooled gifts cannot be traced individually to one recipient.
Set a reminder to read the next programme update or report.
Look for services delivered, barriers, unmet needs and what changed. Adjust your support as you learn.
