Not all campaigns can offer tax deductions. Contributions are only tax-deductible if the campaign is fiscally sponsored by a 501c(3) nonprofit organization. We recommend that you contact the project owner directly to find out if the project is eligible for providing tax receipts. Any tax receipts would come directly from the nonprofit organization, not RaiseVolume.
If you have any questions in regards to whether or not your project may violate our guidelines, please contact us at info@raisevolume.com.
