Just as staff members aren't given exceptions to guidelines neither are charities. The saying, theory, however you want to call it goes: once you let one person go, you have to let everyone else.
Good post.

I always ask for proof of charitable status via notarized copies of their filed and approved paperwork. So far, only 1 has ever complied.

Found this at the IRS
| Quote: |
| In addition, you may verify an organization's tax-exempt status and eligibility to receive tax-deductible charitable contributions by asking to see an organization's IRS letter recognizing it as tax-exempt. You may also confirm an organization's status by calling the IRS (toll-free) at 1-877-829-5500. |
