Hi! Happy weird July 4th week!
Having trouble finding info on this.
We have a company/vendor organizing an elite, non-fundraising event for a VIP group. The participants pay the company directly for the expenses of the event, but there is an option to make an additional donation to us. This is added to the fee and processed by the vendor. After the event, the total combined contribution amount goes to us in one lump sum directly from the vendor.
It is clearly stated on the participant registration form and in the contract with the vendor that additional contributions will go to us.
Considering the funds are processed by the for-profit vendor, can we issue the donors a tax receipt for their contribution?
Thanks so much for your help.
