Tax Status

I'm no tax expert, but from what I understand, our limited ability to fund raise has to do with our tax status with the IRS. But that's for our chapters.

I'm trying to dig out a copy of our actual fund raising policy so once I find my copy maybe I can be more help.

Building corporations have different rules - they have a completely different tax status. I know one corporation that wanted new dining room furnature so they asked for sponsors.... you could get your name on a chair for $100 I think, naming a table cost $250 (I think).

I'm not sure about the rules for parents clubs but I do know of one parents club that held a garage sale to purchase items on a chapter's wish list.

There are options that are legal.
