> The folks behind this project are a 501(c) non-profit organization and they've spent the past 15 years trying to find a way to save this property. This IndieGoGo account is linked directly to their bank and all the funds will go directly to them.
Does anyone know if this means our donations are tax deductible?
So long as they do not accept pledges by credit card, only PayPal, and their PayPal account is registered as a 501(c)3. (It looks like this campaign accepts credit cards, which would imply the answer is no.)
According to U.S. tax laws, contributions must go directly to a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in order for the contributor to be eligible for tax benefits. Indiegogo offers PayPal as a payment method to ensure that your contribution will go directly to the organization. If you are contributing to an project that offers tax deductions and you are given the option to pay by credit card, please be advised that your contribution will NOT qualify as tax deductible! Please do the campaign and yourself a big favor and notify Indiegogo's Customer Happiness team at support@indigogo.com. We will then make sure that the campaign is set up properly to offer tax deductions.
