Raising Funds for Short-Term Missions Trips

Description

Summer is just around the corner and many churches and mission organizations have begun putting together short-term mission trip opportunities for their congregations and donors. How does a church or charity properly raise funds using the deputized concept? The IRS suggest charities use two general tests to determine whether a tax-deductible contribution was made to or for the use of a charitable organization, the Intended Benefit Test and the Control Test.
