dryfly Posted February 8, 2008 Author Posted February 8, 2008 With art donations Revenue Canada does (DID) allow for "artistic value"....so you donate a framed print that cost $50...they would allow a minimum "artistic value" of $100 so you could get a receipt for $150. I usually ask for a minimum tax receipt of $135 for a framed photograph. It is too bad guiding or other intangibles can't be billed. BUT it does get fuzzy, eh? Maxwell donates 8 hours for a trip and I donate just time to make a website ... someone else works, gets paid and cuts a cheque...that person gets a tax receipt. These things are not uniform, but any other way could get very abused too. Quote
toolman Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 And now, if only more folks would step up and get involved...ehem...This project needs our support and we need more donations of items to help raise funds, so who's next to help the cause? ps. I'll bid $200 for the Trophy Pike Hunt with Dryfly and ADC....(What a bargain. Photo's pending.) Quote
dryfly Posted February 8, 2008 Author Posted February 8, 2008 Thanks TM. Say .. can you make a list of the donations offered so far and maybe out in a new thread ....and can Dave pin the new thread.....just a thought? Clive Quote
maxwell Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 i figured a donation was a donation..giving something away out of the love of whatever...not a way too feel like i supported something and made a quick buck doing so..were not talking about donations of millions of dollars...just a few hunred here n there for whatever..yall can keep that tax reciept...im doin this for the love...charity right?

PaleMorningDunce Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 Thanks TM. Say .. can you make a list of the donations offered so far and maybe out in a new thread ....and can Dave pin the new thread.....just a thought? Clive I think it might keep things less confusing to have a new thread for each item up for auction. I'l bid $250 to meet Bosephus and Olga. Tight lines, PMD. Quote

But you could also donate the portion that would have otherwise gone to Ottawa. Quote
dryfly Posted February 9, 2008 Author Posted February 9, 2008 maxwell, take all of the tax receipts you can. My donated pictures last year cost me money out of pocket--a few hundred. That and a few other donations and I'll probably get $1k back -- or at least reduce my tax payment by $1K. It is not like you are cheating or anything. We all donate for the love of the cause, but why be out of pocket? Quote
adc Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 I think it might keep things less confusing to have a new thread for each item up for auction. I'l bid $250 to meet Bosephus and Olga. Tight lines, PMD. Toolman is the guy running the auction........I sent him a PM but I think he's away for a few days...........When he's back, we'll get the donations/auction sorted out so everyone has a better idea of what's up for sale, who's bidding and who's successful..........We'll put some timelines around it and it'll all be good............

toolman Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 Hey Al, sorry for the delay and I will get an Auction thread started shortly....Let the bidding war begin! Quote
toolman Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 The Jet boat threads getting old so maybe we should talk about something a little more positive. Bump... Quote
hydropsyche Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Allan. $50 coming your way. Others should know that if you can't fork out $100, any donation, no matter how small, will help. Quote
hydropsyche Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 Here is the corporate "ask" letter. The H&H club will have a booth at this weekend's sportsman show. We should take the opportunity to use that exposure to reach more people then those who read this forum. Maybe print a bunch of these for the table. I'm not there til Sun afternoon, though. I also can't make tomorrow's meeting. LadyStrange? Quote
dryfly Posted February 13, 2008 Author Posted February 13, 2008 Good one netspinner....also... Click here for the 2-page PDF flier ...iIt is nearly 1MB so takes a few seconds to d/l. Prints very well. Quote
ladystrange Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 ahhh, yes i am going to be there. it was a last minute decission to tie tomorrow night so i will forward some stuff to work and print it there and take it with me. Quote
hydropsyche Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 Bump..... Just looking for where to send the cheque. TM, maybe you should include the link at the bottom of the bidding list. Payment Info Quote
