We all try to engage in charitable activities to support local causes, which are near and dear to us. High schools host “50/50” raffles during sporting events to raise money for new equipment. A church hosts an “elimination dinner” so as to help a young family with a sick child.
These activities are undertaken to help, but they might end up doing more harm than good.
Depending on the nature of the charitable event, it has the potential to run afoul of various provisions of West Virginia State Code and State Regulations. Specifically, provisions relating to charitable organizations and fundraisers implicate potential involvement from several departments of West Virginia State government like the Revenue Division, Tax Division, and Lottery Division.
Does your charitable event pass muster? Contact us today to talk about it.
