IRS
TIPS FOR CHARITIBLE CONTRIBUTIONS
To
be deductible, contributions of money or property must be
made to qualified organizations, such as religious,
charitable, educational literary, scientific, or war
veterans organizations, domestic fraternal societies,
organizations that work to prevent cruelty to children or
animals, or other qualified organizations. Organizations
can tell you if they are qualified and if donations to
them are deductible. The IRS website at
www.irs.gov
also
has an Exempt Organization search feature to help you se
if an organization is qualified. IRS publication 78,
"Cumulative List of Organizations," is available online
at IRS.gov and in many public libraries.
Only
contributions actually made during the tax year are
deductible. Credit card charges and payments by check are
deducted in the year they are given to the charity, even
though you may not pay the credit card bill or have your
bank account debited until the next year.
If
your contributions entitle you to merchandise, goods or
services, including admission to a charity ball,
theatrical performance or sporting event, you can deduct
only the amount that exceeds the fair market value of the
benefit received.
Donations
of stock or other property are usually valued at the fair
market value of the property. For stocks and bonds with
an active market, the fair market value is the average
price between highest and lowest selling price on the
valuation date.
Those
who donate their cars may also claim only the fair market
value of the car. The fair market value takes into
account many factors, including the vehicle's condition.
The fair market value may differ substantially from the
car's "Blue Book" value. For vehicle donations, taxpayers
must document both the car donation and its fair market
value.
For
a contribution of $250 or more, you can claim a deduction
only if you obtain a written acknowledgement from the
qualified organization. You must obtain this written
acknowledgement by the date you file your tax return or
the due date of the return, whichever is earlier. A
person donating property valued at more than 45,000 must
obtain a qualified written appraisal.
You
cannot deduct the value of your time or services,
personal expenses, appraisal fees or contributions to
specific individuals, among other things. If you have
questions about the deductibility of charitable
contributions, call the IRS Tax Help Line for Individuals
at 1-800-829-1040.

Donation checks are mailed every month. We sent
over 2,000 checks to causes big and small during

With iSearchiGive, there's no
need to wait a year for your cause to get its
donations! Every month, we calculate the funds due
your cause based upon fundraising activities that
happened approximately 75 days ago. That allows

can pay your cause. The minimum for check issuance
is $25 - if your cause has not reached the $25
minimum, their funds will roll over to the
following month. After all, who wants a check for
