Donations

From Hive13 Wiki

[edit] Overview

Since Hive13 is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization you can donate objects and cash and take a tax deduction for them. Membership Fees are deductible as well as anything you purchase from the group (like pop or t-shirts).

[edit] Cash Donations

Cash donations happen in several ways. There will be some form of anonymous donation container at the facility. This will be plainly marked. If you donate money this way you will not be able to claim it on your taxes because you will not be given a receipt. Paper receipts should also be available at the facility if you need one. You will need to give the money directly to a board member. Do not give money to any member of the group because they can not officially write a receipt out for the donation.

Online cash donations are probably the easiest method. You can use paypal to donate at the Donations page.

[edit] Material/Equipment Donations

Material and Equipment donations are also welcome but they will need approval by a board member in order to be claimed on taxes. We do not want the Hive13 facility to be a junk repository. See Junk Rules for more information on junk build-up. We can not use overly stained furniture. If you are donating furniture and you have animals please be respectful of other members that maybe allergic and fully clean the furniture. If the furniture can not be fully cleaned than it will not be accepted.

If a receipt is required for the donation then ensure you communicate this with one of the board members so that they can write you or your company out a receipt.
