A White Paper to Help  Determine if Your Fundraising Activities are Lega

The IRS calls fundraising activities in which individuals receive credit for funds raised cooperative fundraising. When records are kept showing how much each parent/student contributed to the fundraising effort, these records are called individual fundraising accounts (IFAs).  The IRS has said that that cooperative fundraising and IFAs may disqualify a school booster club from tax‐exemption as a public charity under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.  This white paper will explore what the IRS has written about cooperative fundraising and IFA’s and provide a methodology for analyzing when cooperative fundraising is likely to disqualify a group as a public charity.
