Fundraising events are conducted for the sole or primary purpose of raising charitable funds where participants make a charitable contribution and a purchase for the fair market value of goods or services. Fundraising events may include dinners, dances, door-to-door sales of merchandise, concerts, carnivals, golf tournaments, auctions, casino nights, and similar events. Fundraising events with gross receipts greater than $ 5,000 must be approved in writing by a delegated gift authority when the fundraising event utilizes the university name, logo, or trademarks and represents that the university will benefit from the proceeds. The CSUSB Philanthropic Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation that is an auxiliary of CSUSB under agreement with the CSU trustees and is exempt from Federal income tax under Section 501(C)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Contributions made to the CSUSB Philanthropic Foundation are tax-deductible under section 170 of the IRS Code.
