This Donation Policy outlines the principles and procedures for accepting, receipting, and using charitable contributions in accordance with state and federal laws, including IRS regulations governing 501(c)(4) nonprofit organizations.

 

2. Legal Status

MSCFA is a nonprofit corporation organized under the laws of the State of Missouri and recognized as a tax-exempt organization under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 501(c)(4). Contributions to MSCFA may not be tax-deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes. Donors should consult their tax advisors for guidance.

 

3. Donor Rights

MSCFA respects the rights of donors. All donors have the right to:

  • Be informed of MSCFA’s mission, programs, and how donated funds are used;

  • Receive appropriate acknowledgment and recognition (or remain anonymous if requested);

  • Request access to MSCFA’s financial statements and annual reports;

  • Expect that all donations will be used for purposes consistent with MSCFA’s mission and values;

  • Pledges and recurring gifts

  • Gifts of goods or services (in-kind donations) if aligned with organizational needs

  • Grants and sponsorships from individuals, businesses, or foundations

 

MSCFA reserves the right to refuse any donation that is incompatible with its mission, places undue restrictions on the organization, or comes from a source deemed inconsistent with MSCFA’s values or reputation. 

 

5. Use of Donations

Unless otherwise specified by the donor and agreed to by MSCFA, all donations will be considered unrestricted and used at the discretion of the Board of Directors to further the mission, including:

  • Operational and programmatic support of MSCFA initiatives

 

Restricted donations will be used only for the designated purpose and tracked accordingly.
