Update On Check Donations – New Rules

We have recently closed our bank accounts for RC Czech Mission and Czech Center Building Fund. All of our accounts must now be consolidated under our legal title. Please, no longer make any checks payable to either name or any variation of them. We will not be able to deposit such checks, but will have to send them back to you for correction. We established these accounts before we were incorporated with an IRS ID number. Things are no longer so casual. All bank accounts must now bear the legal name of the non-profit entity.
