Have you looked at cutthecash.com-- lots of good information on thier site.

Aplant,

I am glad to hear the vacation from Elite Island Resorts went well. Can I ask what the fees cost that they had to pay? Thank you,

Karen

Here is an IRS brochure that describes what is needed:

www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p1771.pdf

According to this, the name of the charity, the date of the contribution, and the
amount of the contribution are required. The business should have assigned a value upon donation to you (don't do it yourself, because if you are wrong it can create a tax liability for your organization). If they did not, ask for one.

Hope this helps!

When a business asks for a tax letter for their donation, what is necessary to put in there? Our secretary doesn't want to list the value, she said she heard it is up to them to tell the irs the value. I thought we should state the value. Does anyone know what is correct?

Thank you

We used the Elite Island Resort vacations and two of my friends won and went on one of the trips. They said it was fantastic and will be going back next year being the voucher was for two rooms and it was just the two of them on this trip.

We are considering paying the fees and selling 100 raffles at $100 a piece. It would still bring considerable revenue to our fundraiser.
I knew it was to good to be true when I got an acceptance in less than an hour..,,,,
