Re: [AGA-sc] [Fwd: Re: CAS auction donation]



We *do* need to report donations in our annual IRS filing. Although we are recognized as tax exempt, we still have to report our finanical activities. No special document is required of donors. However we are required in any solictiation of funds to advise anyone giving us money that funds, given to or or spent on the AGA, are not classifiable as a charitable donation and are not tax-exempt for federal tax purposes. There is specific language legally required, which appears somewhere on the website; I don't recall exactly where.

Cheryl,

Thanks so much for the understanding. I would like to take this
opportunity to thank you and the AGA for their support of our Spring
Auction. If in the future I can assist you in any way with one of your
functions please do not hesitate to ask.

I do have one other question for your organization. We are going over our
aquatic horticulture awards program and are in the process of reviewing
and revamping. Does the AGA have a smiliar program? If so, is it possible
for me to get a copy of the rules and regulations concerning it? We are
currently using the original rules from FAAS and it just does not seem to
compare to similiar programs I am seeing in use by other societies. Some
plants that I know are difficult to propogate are given very low values
while the reverse is also true. I would appreciate any assistance you
could offer.

Thank you very much!!!
