Tax Information

The IRS requires that charitable organizations inform their contributors as to
the deductibility of payments and donations made by patrons for fundraising
activities. The following are guidelines and are provided to assist in your tax
preparations:
• Raffles – No deductibility
• Cash Donations – Tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law
• Gift Contributions – Tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law. For

non-cash property donations, it is advised that you consult with your tax
professional since the IRS has specific requirements for filing which may
apply to you (e.g., an official appraisal may be warranted if the value of an
item excess $5,000).
Your Auction receipts should serve as your official receipt of items purchased at
the Auction. The value set for each items is a “good faith estimate” as required
by the IRS. You may deduct only what is paid in excess of each gift’s fair market
value.

Receipts

A receipt will be sent to you by email for your review the week following
the auction. Credit Cards will processed after the auction.

You may view items prior to bidding. The Live Auction will begin at approximately

Upon deciding the highest bidder for an item, you assume full risk and
responsibility.
All sales are final and there will be no exchanges or refunds. You must take the items
