What's the difference between raising money for nonprofits and for individuals?

Donations to an official 501c3 nonprofit organization are tax deductible whereas donations to an individual or organization are not tax deductible. PLEDGE IT will review every recipient in order to verify official 501c3 nonprofit organization. We use Guidestar.org to help us verify a recipient is an official 501c3 nonprofit.

Common organizations that are NOT an official 501c3 nonprofit but still use PLEDGE IT are booster clubs and social enterprises. Typically, these organizations have not applied for their 501c3 status. PLEDGE IT works with several booster clubs and social enterprises that are making a difference in their communities.
