To designate a fund that is not tax deductible or a "non-deductible" fund (examples might include event tickets or books for a class), simply follow the same steps as creating a new fund; however, prior creating the fund check the box "non-deductible". The steps are as follows:
- Go to the Fund page in your Admin Dashboard under Settings > Funds.
- Press the green button labeled "New Fund".
- Type in the name, set as Active or Inactive.
- If the fund is not tax deductible, then check the box for "non-deductible".
- Indicate whether the fund is "Admin Only" or not. (Hint: most likely not.)
- Press "Create Fund"
You may also edit any fund after creating it to designate it as "non-deductible" by hitting the edit button on the far right.
Indicating whether or not a fund is tax deductible will determine whether is shows up on your donors' year end tax statements.
