[quote=Anonymous]Here is a link generally discussing donations to DCPS and how to do it:
https://dcps.dc.gov/page/make-donation-dcps

Direct payments to each school's SAF can be made online; however, this will not generate a receipt sufficient to prove that your payment was a donation and not a payment for service; but if you don't care about that, then this is the easiest way to build up your school's SAF.

While a government entity like a public school does not qualify for tax exempt status, donations to them generally are tax decuctible if the funds are used for a public purpose.

To make a donation to the SAF tax deductible, you could do it by check/cash with a letter to the principal identifying the purpose and let them deposit the donation. Or you could have your PTA arrange a SAF fundraiser, make the tax deductible donation to the 501c3 HSA, and the HSA can deposit the money in the SAF. As always, check with you tax advisor.[/quote]
