Linda,

Do a quick search at the following (it is a URL, I'm going to see if I can find a way to paste it in here that it does not get stripped out):

(apps.irs.gov/app/eos/mainSearch.do?mainSearchChoice=pub78&dispatchMethod=selectSearch)

Unfortunately, many donors will make it a requirement that you provide your 501(c)3 number, even if you qualify for donations without one. It's a filter they use to help winnow down requests.

Thank you for pointing that out. I had read the instructions well I thought but apparently not well enough. We dont qualify then, but I guess I'll wait for them to come back and tell me that Thanks!

I am at a public school and neither the school or PTO have a 501 c-3 number. they have other letters that state they are not required to have one. How can I still get donations that require one. Does anyone else have this problem.

Note for anyone interested in Cedar Point Tickets they only take donation request for fundraisers that deal with Physical and/or Mental disabilities

I would love these but our school doesn't qualify

ok, thanks!

@ ceciliaky

Sorry should have specified, I run auctions for 2 different schools. one is my daughters grade school and the other is my son's daycare/preschool. So I have 2 completely different names, numbers and addresses..


Just a thought, maybe you could do Kings Island for one and Cedar Point for the other..
