IRS Deduction query

• Contributions for amounts less than $100 are welcome (and form the bulk of our support fund contributions).  Your canceled check serves as your tax-deductible receipt.
• Contributions in excess of $100 will receive a formal letter of appreciation as further evidence of your generous support.
• Corporate and Benefactor contributors can obtain a copy of our IRS Letter of Exemption Determination by calling the Detachment at (425) 440-9506

We also maintain a record of Marine Support Fund, Toys for Tots Fund, and the Marine Corps League General Fund contributions solely to validate an IRS-deduction query.

-DISCLOSURE

While none of our funds are administered by salaried personnel (we are all unpaid volunteers), contributions to the General Funds could conceivably be used in part for expenses considered "administrative" by the IRS. These expenditures are authorized exempt charitable expenses, but it could be misleading to claim 100% purely-charitable use in those funds, as a small portion of those funds might be used to cover operational expenses of the Honor Guard, or in the case of the General Fund, "administrative expenses" of the Detachment as described above if such expenses exceed that covered solely by member dues. It's not often this is necessary, but this disclosure serves as notice that such expenses are authorized in those specific funds to further the Marine Corps League's Veteran and Community Service operations. Our MCL members donate their time, service, and most, if not all, of their own expenses as a sense of honor, duty, and privilege, in order to maximize the funds available to benefit our brother and sister Marines, FMF Corpsmen, their families, and the community in which we live. Likewise, we carefully investigate the recipients of our funds to accomplish the greatest end-recipient value from these resources. You can be confident your tax-deductible contributions are cherished and diligently distributed in support of accomplishing each fund's mission.
