Hello,
We have a donor interested in "sponsoring" a student to golf, i.e., pay the amount ($250) associated with an "Early Bird Single Golfer" in our Golf Outing offerings. This offering currently has a gift/non-gift split of $100/$150.
Since the donor is technically not forgoing the benefits of this offering but rather passing those benefits onto a different participant (or to our entity to offer those benefits to a different participant), would the entire amount of $250 be considered charitable? Are there any key documentation/acknowledgement considerations?
Thank you,
