zipper Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 It's not me, but many folks are probably close to the $2000 level and this will push them over. If this is the brainchild of the new development guy, it's great to see. Quote
Zipsrifle Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 :blink: 2G is way to much for me! I sit in General Admission remember! Quote
GP1 Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 The Grid Iron Club is not new, but if I am going to give 2G to the school, I am going to give to the Foundation and designate it to football so I could get the tax deduction. Quote
zipper Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 I'd be surprised if you didn't still get the tax write-off. It's still a gift to the U, right? Quote
zff Posted August 31, 2005 Author Report Posted August 31, 2005 The gift for the Grid Iron Club is tax-deductable. Just as any gift donation to the University. Quote
GP1 Posted September 1, 2005 Report Posted September 1, 2005 The gift for the Grid Iron Club is tax-deductable. Just as any gift donation to the University. Are you sure? For a gift to be tax ded.., nothing can be received for the gift. In this case, the donor receives tickets, sideline passes, etc. Quote
zipper Posted September 1, 2005 Report Posted September 1, 2005 I believe you have to subtract out the actual value to come up with a tax deduction figure. The tickets clearly have a dollar value, so that is easily subtracted. I'm sure there are IRS guidelines for figuring out the value minus the perks received. Quote
