Our museum is a county museum. We also have a separate, private 501 c 3
whose mission is to build an endowment for the museum. We also use the
foundation to run donations through so donors can take their tax deductions.
My question is whether the donors can contribute directly to a government
museum and take a tax deduction so I don't always have to run it through the
foundation?
