David Ochel asked whether donations to the UT Grotto are deductible,
and I don't see any other comment following up on that among the many
e-mails I haven't yet read. (I was away in Colorado for a week. My
missing a grotto meeting and one or more parties seems to have worried
some people. Sorry.)
The grotto's status as a chapter of the NSS does not have any tax
advantages. Some NSS activities, such as projects (like the AMCS) do
enjoy the privilege of people making donations for them through the
NSS office, so that they get recorded in the NSS's books as donations,
should anyone from the IRS ask.
Anyway, even if the grotto had its own official tax-deductible status,
I'm sure it wouldn't really be OK to launder donations to private
individuals by calling them donations to the grotto. Anyway, what sort
of cheapskate cares whether donations to the Schumachers are
deductible?--Mixon
