503(c) for JTF?
« on: September 28, 2006, 11:13:30 PM »
I'm just curious if JTF has ever thought about pursuing 503(c) status with the IRS, either for JTF proper or for the VJA.

Donations to 503(c) organizations are tax exempt.  Also, if your company gives to United Way, you can direct your funds to any 503(c) organization.  Plus most company match - so for example, if JTF or VJA was 503(c), I could give to it through my United Way at work and my employer would match my donation 50%!

And of course if it was tax deductible, you might attract larger donations.
