What if there is no existing fund?
If no fund exists, you may establish a new one with a $1,000 transfer from your discretionary fund in the foundation.
What about term sponsorships?
A term sponsorship is when someone gives a set amount of money for a set number of years and in exchange receives naming recognition for that term on a select item/place/location. A term sponsorship will count as voluntary service credit and not a tax-deductible gift.
Term sponsorships will be turned into DPAE on the provided Sponsorship Contract form.
Will this sponsorship be deemed a charitable gift?
When an individual or organization is providing the money for a sponsorship opportunity, it can be deemed a gift and will be added to their Banner record as such. They will receive a tax receipt that represents the tax-deductible amount of the gift (minus benefits received), unless they meet the criteria below:
When a sponsor gets to hand out marketing materials, price lists or coupons, the sponsorship cannot be deemed a gift by CASE guidelines and will be counted as voluntary service credit amount.
Sponsorship solicitation materials must include language that says, ���Due to advertising benefits available to the sponsor, this sponsorship will not count as a tax-deductible gift.���
