Easy Fund Raising Ideas

Question: I am a fundraising professional. My outputs are measured based on how much funds. Can some one help?

I have a target of USD 200,000 this year ending december. Our work is in community development.

Answer: Apply for grants from charitable foundations. There are tons of them and they have lots of money to give away as long as you are willing to jump through all their paperwork hoops.

Here’s just one example. Type in “charitable foundations” in a search engine and you’ll hit a lot of them.

Question: taxes on the fundraising income in abroad?

There will be a fundraising event w artworks donated by the artists (USA) in abraod. The event will generate donations (foreign) through donations (USA) for a future nonprofit arts org. Do I have to report this income to IRS and pay tax? If so, how much will it be? Thanks.

Answer: if it’s going to be a future non profits arts org then there should be no income tax. Non-profits do not pay income tax on their income that is related to the non-profit. But hopefully you will have the non-profit in place by year end.
