How it works: Artist, donate their art to Can Do Coalition in support of its 501(c) (3) goodwill activities and Can Do Coalition in turn sells this artwork to the general public in support of its 501(c) (3) goodwill activities.
This process of receiving donations from the public is important for two critical reasons: a) it helps offset the cost of our 501(c) (3) goodwill activities b) it helps us maintain our nonprofit status (read below).
It is especially critical that Can Do Coalition receive donations from the general public as the IRS requires nonprofits to meet what is called a public support test. In brief, a certain percentage of Can Do Coalition’s total budget (at least one-third of its total support (1/3rd) *) must come from donations from the general public (or government unit) or we lose our nonprofit status. * There are some technical exemptions to this which you can review on the www.irs.gov website.
