Activision Blizzard’s Post

A common misconception is that gaming is a 501(c)(3) “charitable” activity. There is nothing inherently charitable about gaming (e.g., lotteries, raffles, casino-type activities). According to the IRS, it's a recreational activity and a business with possible UBTI implications. Although a charity may use the proceeds from gaming to pay expenses associated with its charitable programs, gaming itself does not further any charitable purpose. So gaming cannot be a more than an insubstantial purpose of a 501(c)(3) organization. NOTE: Many states and localities (like Chicago) regulate certain types of gaming activities conducted by nonprofit corporations. Be sure to check these laws in advance of hosting a fundraising event.

As Australia grapples with the national crisis that is gender-based violence, with at least 43 women killed already this year, you may be wondering what we can do to create change? The federal budget includes $3.4 billion to support women's safety and the National Plan to End Violence Against Women and Children 2022-2032. The majority of this is for prevention and crisis response programs. So what can you as an individual do to help those struggling with the aftermath of violence? Conscious Combat Club is a registered charity established to disrupt gender-based violence through trauma-informed kickboxing. You can help us support women's recover and combat the circle of violence by making a tax-deductible donation. As we are endorsed as deductible gift recipients (DGRs), all donations over $2 are deductible from your income tax. Money raised will enable us to open a dedicated trauma-informed martial arts and movement centre. A space for women to connect to their bodies, their power and each other. https://lnkd.in/g8ZURc5n
