Sponsorship & Tax Information

2025 Golf Scramble

Understanding How Your Sponsorship Supports Our Cause

We are so grateful to the individuals and businesses who support us through sponsorships. Your partnership helps drive our mission forward — and we want to ensure you have clear information about how your sponsorship may (or may not) be tax-deductible.

📣 Sponsorships with Advertising or Recognition

Many of our sponsorship levels include some form of public recognition or advertising, such as:

  • Your logo on event signage or banners
  • Recognition on our website, social media, or emails
  • Mentions during the event program
  • Promotional materials given to attendees

Because your business is receiving marketing exposure, the IRS typically treats this as a business expense, not a charitable donation.

✅ The good news: In most cases, this type of sponsorship can be deducted as a marketing or advertising expense.

Note: The information above is general in nature and not tax advice. Please consult your tax professional about your specific circumstances.

🎟️ Sponsorships That Include Tickets or Gifts

If your sponsorship includes benefits like golf entries, meals, or other gifts, the value of those items affects how much you can claim as a charitable donation.

Example:

  • Sponsorship amount: $1,000
  • You receive two golf spots worth $300
  • The remaining $700 may be considered a charitable contribution

We will always share the fair market value of any goods or services you receive so you and your tax preparer can calculate accordingly.

What You’ll Receive from Us

To support your records and filing, we’ll provide:

  • A thank-you letter or receipt
  • A clear breakdown of your sponsorship amount and any benefits received
  • Info to help your accountant or tax advisor classify your contribution properly

Final Note

We recommend consulting your accountant or tax advisor for specific guidance, especially if your sponsorship includes advertising or other benefits.

Thank you for choosing to sponsor. You’re not just giving — you’re making a lasting impact in our community!

💙 Charitable Gifts & Donations

In addition to sponsorships, we are deeply grateful for those who choose to give through direct charitable donations. These contributions are fully tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law, as you are not receiving any goods, services, or advertising in return.
