Thank you very much for the comment and question. As club counsel, on 2 different occasions I have written articles for the club magazine regarding donations. I do not have the issue #s offhand, but I will get them for you. I obtained our 501 (c) (3) status, and zealously guard it for the club. It is our most valuable asset. A donation, either testamentary (in your will) or inter vivos (while alive) is an outstanding way to perpetuate and support the club and its goals.

Many of the answers given to you were accurate and helpful. The one thing that I want to stress is that we do not give tax advice. Appraisals are never signed off on by the club as to value, only as to the accuracy of the donation. If you have any further questions please email me at your convenience.
