I have no idea what the tax implications are. I am under the vague impression that you can't do that with a non-profit and still have it be tax deductible, but I don't actually know, and don't particularily want to engage the services of an appropriate proffessional. Specifically, I believe, with little or no actual evidence, that it is illegal to deduct a donation ear-marked for a particular purpose. -Robin -- http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ *** http://www.lojban.org/ Reason #237 To Learn Lojban: "Homonyms: Their Grate!"
