RE: [amsat-bb] P3E funding question

["Reicher, James" <JReicher@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is correct.  US tax law permits a deduction only if it is made to a
US based charitable organization.

P3E...also needs contributions from the amateur radio community and I
suggest to all who like to donate for the next HEO satellite to read the
following page written in English.

http://www.amsat-dl.org/p3e/donation-e.htm

or just  http://www.amsat-dl.org/

and than click on P3E Donation / Spenden wich is in the middle of the
page.


Wayne replies:

Note that funds contributed directly to AMSAT-DL are NOT tax-deductible
for those of us in the United States.  In the United States, you can
make a tax-deductible donation for P3E through the AMSAT-NA office.
