Fundraising Event Requirements

If you are planning a fundraising event or benefit, we ask that you contact our staff to discuss the event during the planning stages.

Anytime you provide some kind of benefit to a donor in exchange for a contribution (such as entertainment, refreshments, goodie bags, ticket discounts, etc.) you MUST notify us of the benefit(s) the donor received, as well as an estimate of the fair market value of those benefits. Only the portion of the donation in excess of that estimated value is tax-deductible. To protect your donor from an audit and us from losing our 501(c)(3) status, it's important that we don't over-report the deductible amount. The value of the goods and/or services given in exchange must be a good faith estimate of its fair market value and should be listed in the “non-deductible portion” on the Donation Report Form. Please remember, Fractured Atlas will not accept any cash donations and any cash donations accepted by you directly are done so at your own risk and are solely your responsibility (including the responsibility to ensure proper registrations and/or licenses).
