Annual Fund Benefits

Contributions to the Green Music Center are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. Based on IRS regulations regarding Donor-Advised Funds, no donor is allowed to receive any goods, services or other private benefit, such as benefit tickets, school tuition, membership fees or goods purchased at an auction. A DAF grant may not be used to fulfill a pre-existing pledge. Based on these IRS regulations and the terms of charitable funds, Sonoma State University is not allowed to provide a tax receipt for such grants, as such gifts are made from a donor-advised account.
