23 Jun 09 What is it like to work in a Nonprofit organization? especially in the fundraising area?

I’m considering a degree in Nonprofit management with a fundraising certificate. I’ve always been fascinated with the concept of working in a non-profit, however, I don’t really know what the day-to-day work load will be. Is it mostly a desk job or is it more of working with people? Is fundraising a hard job or can it be fun? Any info would help!

21 Jun 09 Getting a product discount and donating to the same nonprofit?

Okay, my children go to a religious elementary school which is a valid nonprofit organization.

I get a tuition discount from them.

Can I donate to the school and deduct the donation from my taxes? I know that I can’t deduct tuition.

There is currently no agreement (written, oral, or even suggested) that a donation is any kind of compensation for my tuition discount.

My questions are:
1) Can I deduct the contribution?
2) Even if it is legal (or illegal) to deduct the contribution, what is the likelihood that the IRS would investigate myself or the school as a result of doing this?
3) Can I use my donations as a bargaining point for bigger tuition reductions in the future? Presumably, they would get more money if they lower my tuition and I donate more, due to tax deductibility.

–Adam
The tuition deduction is need-based and arbitrary – they don’t have a mathematical formula for deductions of this type.

The donations would not be large in comparison to others the institution receives.

20 Jun 09 How do you obtain tax exemption without being a nonprofit organization?

Our Home and School association has a tax exempt ID, yet we are not a non-profit organization. How is that possible? How would we have obtained tax exemption? No one in the organization seems to know. What criteria could be used for obtaining a tax exempt ID? And this isn’t as important right now, but how do you go about becoming a nonprofit organization? Did you ever hear of a Home and School Association being such? Thanks.
