<prompt> Human: Hi all,I am in charge of the big philanthropic event that my fraternity does each year at college. Someone has asked me if the donations they make will be tax deductible. I know if they were to donate straight to the organisation Huntsman Cancer Institute they could get some sort of receipt for when they fill out their tax forms as proof. As these donations are being made to us the fraternity at first, but for the sole purpose of charitable donation, does this then make them non-tax deductible? If this is true, is there a way to get around it?  <response>: Does the Huntsman Cancer Institute know youre throwing this event? Maybe talk to them. Id assume theyve had other organizations throw similar events, and will be able to advise you on how to best handle this scenario.
