17. Rules and Regulations (aka FAQ) DONORS Can I make a donation using my fund at the Community Foundation? Yes! The Community Foundation will be in contact with donors who have funds at the Foundation to establish which Give STL Day eligible nonprofits they wish to contribute to and for how much. We will make the arrangements to move this agreed upon amount of money from your fund on May 5th and credit it to the nonprofit of your choice. You can search for an eligible nonprofit on the Give STL Day website. Participating nonprofits will have a donation page where you can choose the amount you want to donate. Donations begin at $10 and there is no limit to the maximum size or number of donations accepted. Is my gift tax deductible? 100% of the donation qualifies as a charitable gift. You will immediately receive an email confirming the deduction from the Greater Saint Louis Community Foundation. Please save this email for your records.

You can not designate your donation for a specific program at a nonprofit. What is the minimum and maximum donation amounts? The minimum donation amount is $10. There is no maximum donation.

18. Rules and Regulations (aka FAQ) NONPROFITS How much of the donations go to my organization? Your organization will receive at least 93% of the donations received the day of the event and 100% of any incentive dollars or prize money obtained during the event. Can we win more than one incentive prize? Organizations can receive one hourly prize. Once you have been selected for an hourly prize, you will no longer be eligible to receive another one. Additionally, prizes are only given for unique gifts. Dividing gifts is unnecessary and will not increase your chances of winning prizes or receiving incentive dollars. What if we have our own matching dollars for Give STL Day? While the Community Foundation has prize and incentive dollars available during the 24-hour period, we encourage each nonprofit to do whatever they can to create additional matching gift opportunities for their donors on May 5th. On the nonprofit registration site, there is a box to check if you have a donor who is providing matching gift dollars specifically to your organization on May 5th. Please alert the Community Foundation about any matching dollars you have secured. We will manually add them to the totals for the day on the leaderboard!

Can we hold events or solicit dollars or pledges in advance of May 5th? No. All gifts made during Give STL Day must be made on May 5th. Holding pre-events or collecting dollars or pledges in advance is not in the spirit of generating donors on Give STL Day. You may hold any events during May 5th and any dollars collected and deposited will count toward your total for the day. You may however, encourage your donors and board members to hold their gifts until May 5th and give at that time. Can we offer tax credits to our donors through Give STL Day? No. You may contact the State of Missouri to discuss making tax credits available through Give STL Day but the Community Foundation is unable to provide any additional support to you or your donors for tax credits.

You will have access to donor information during the event. We also encourage you to reach out to your donors after the event and thank them for supporting your organization.
