Five Tax-Saving Principles
End of Year Charitable Contribution Tip
Our biggest challenge has always been the development of a sustainable funding paradigm for this nonprofit project. The Snow and Avalanche Center is a grassroots effort and receives no corporate or government funding. We rely primarily on contributions from users. Contributions and store purchases have become our greatest sources of funding, constituting about 90% of our operating revenue. Other sources such as our annual fundraising auction are highly variable and make up only about 10% of our funding. We have sought small grants for operating funds, but to no avail. Advertising and sponsorship revenues have been minimal.
We are incorporated as a nonprofit in the state of Oregon, USA as a nonprofit and have Tax-exempt (501c3) status from the US Government.
Thank You very much!
