| Setting
Up and Maintaining
a US 501(c)(3) |
Most
American individuals, foundations & companies will
only support charitable organizations outside the USA by
making gifts and grants to a US non-profit known as a 501(c)(3)
which then uses the funds to support the charitable organization
outside the US. This allows individuals and companies to
get a tax benefit for the gift (called a tax-deduction)
and satisfies certain legal requirements placed on foundations.
|
|
Gifts and grants given directly to charitable organizations outside the United
States are not tax-deductible for individuals and companies. Foundations
are subject to legal restrictions when giving directly to charitable
organisations outside the US.
|
Thus, charitable organizations outside the US that want US donations need
to either set up a 501(c)(3) themselves or use a 501(c)(3) intermediary
organisation.
|
Chapel & York has detailed material available
about its 501(c)(3) services which includes a discussion
about whether it is better to set up your own 501(c)(3)
or use an intermediary such as The American Fund
for Charities.
