Do Your Donor Letters Have it All?
Including required IRS disclosures?
|
A $64 million charitable contribution was disallowed per the Tax Court case 15 West 17th Street LLC v. Commissioner, 147 T.C. No. 19. Why? Because the donor acknowledgement letter was missing key pieces of information required by the Internal Revenue Service.
Detailed rules for contemporaneous written acknowledgments are contained in Section 170(f)(8) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 1.170A-13(f) of the Income Tax Regulations. These rules require charitable organizations to provide donors with written acknowledgment of gifts over $250. This written acknowledgment must contain specific references as to whether the gift recipient provided the donor with any goods or services in exchange for the donation, and whether the gift recipient provided anything of value, in exchange for the gift.

Shared Spaces at the Children's Campus of Kansas City
|

 |
|
Dedicated to a mission of preparing young children who are at risk for academic failure for success in school and life, the Children's Campus of Kansas City is a collaborative research program partnership aimed at improving outcomes for young children and their families.
At the Children's Campus of Kansas City we are building the future. The children impacted today will be the workforce and community of tomorrow. Annually more than 1,000 children participate in services designed to prepare them for success in the future. These services are provided by nearly 200 professional staff across agencies working together to improve the outcomes of children. Parents and families have opportunities to engage in their child's development and education and learn about their important role in their child's future success.
The co-location and collaboration of the Children's Campus of Kansas City partners contributes to a solid foundation for academic readiness, greater ease for parents in following through on referrals, and business efficiencies that allow more dollars to be directed toward high impact programming.

In this white paper you will find:
- Common forms of solicitation that may require registration
- An explanation of the registration forms and process
- How to approach online fundraising requirements
- Potential penalties for noncompliance
- How to decide where to register
- Information on exemptions, renewal requirements, extensions, disclosure statements, and more.

What Would Happen if There Were No
Nonprofits in
Missouri or Kansas?
|
|
A group of more than 20 nonprofit professionals convened by Nonprofit Missouri recently met in Columbia, Missouri. The group shared ways to raise their collective voices, and landed on one question as a way to help demonstrate their impact - "What if the nonprofit sector did not exist?"
What services would not be available? What would not happen in education and youth development? What art would not be supported? What health and human services would not have been delivered? What social benefits would have been lost and how would our world be different? It would be a staggering list of losses in our communities that would convince the biggest skeptics that no one would want a world without the valuable work of nonprofits.
