Guest guest Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 Hi Debbie - I have taken your proposal very seriously, and solicited advice on how to proceed. The bottom line is that we need to be very careful of anything that tastes of money collection, particularly as applies to this kind of activity in the nonprofit environment. Consequently: I cannot have our group linked to your site (anyway, we do not have a web site) I cannot recommend to people that they buy the products you describe I can make no statement to people telling them that all the money they give to you is a " contribution " , as I do not know whether or not this is the case. By the same token, I do not know what you will do with the money you collect and how you will distribute it. (A word of advice: you need to be fully covered with the tax authorities before you begin to engage in this activity. I do not know what you did during the previous effort you described in your proposal, but I hope you did it correctly.....I am not a tax authority, but it seems to me that you should get some professional advice.......) What we can do, since we are all in favor of helping research and the various 501C3 tax exempt, lymphoma/leukemia supporting, agencies, is: Once your web site is running, we can make an announcement to our people that if they are interested in this sort of thing they can visit your site and make their own choice about how they wish to handle a transaction with you.
