From FLI
How gifts to GoodSports SK are received and receipted:
• Online (credit card or bank transfer): made through the Give Lively form on the SK donate page. The money goes straight to GoodSports SK, and Give Lively emails the receipt on SK's behalf.
• Donor-advised fund grants: can be started from the same Give Lively form. The DAF sponsor receipts the donor; GoodSports SK sends a thank-you that is not a tax receipt.
• Checks, appreciated stock and estate bequests: given to GoodSports SK directly.
SK receives these gifts and sends the receipt itself. A stock receipt describes the
shares given, not their dollar value.
• GiveMN and Give to the Max Day: received and receipted by Mightycause
Charitable Foundation, which grants the funds to GoodSports SK.
GoodSports SK, Inc. and Faith and Learning International are separate organizations, and each issues its own receipts. GoodSports SK makes unrestricted grants to FLI at its board's discretion. Gifts to GoodSports SK can't be designated for specific individuals.
