I was just reading the last post. The one reply siad that fundraisers need to be for any organization that is nonproift. I was skimming through other threads and they had tons if lists for "organizations" other than nonprofit. There was one lady who held a fundraiser for her friend who was looking to help with adoptions cots. There were other fudnraisers that were helping victims of house fires.
So, here's my question. Are they required to enter a tax-exempt number or anything? Does the mother who is hosting a fundraiser for her adoption costs need to apply for any type of tax-exempt status? Or, like other posts have said, there just needs to be a bank account in the name of "Jane's Adoption Fund" and afterwards the account is closed after the fundraiser?
I know it seems like a lot of info and questions, but I just want to make sure I know where we stand on fundraiser that aren't for the Boy or Girl scouts.
