[Vision2020] Fw: Are Donations to Benches Tax Deductible?

[Sue Hovey]

A cobbled together baroc-lounger seems somehow unworthy of Denise, then and now.  Dan may think she would appreciate it, but I wonder. Tolerant she is, but I figure her furniture choices would rise to a somewhat higher standard.  She might, however, appreciate the thought and hope you leave it at that.

  So how, exactly, does this bench dedication thing work. If me and a couple of my buds pony up a few dollars and buy a bench can we dedicate it to who ever we like and plonk it down anywhere we choose in NSA square? It would seem with a program such as that the square might get a bit crowded over time to say nothing of contentious when the seat is dedicated to (fill in the blank.) Or does the city, in its infinite wisdom, exercise control over the who and where, and if so what is the criterion. I think I'm going to cobble together a nice wooden barco-lounger and dedicate it to Denise Hedler, the unrequited love of my angst ridden middle school years. She was hot.

    Dear Visionaries and Bruce,

    YES, yes, yes!!! You can make donations for benches, trees, art, recreation funds for indigent kids, the 1912 Center (also through HAI, Inc.!), and other buildings... even for city projects like comprehensive planning or downtown projects! The City can receive these donations and your contribution is tax deductible! Contact Don Palmer at the City, 883-7000, if you are moved to support any such worthy goal!

    All the best,

    Linda Pall
    Moscow City Council

      Several people have inquired about whether the donations they made toward the purchase of 
      several of the Friendship Square benches are tax deductible.  I inquired of the City Finance Dept. and was informed that, yes, any donation toward the purchase of a bench in Friendship Square is indeed tax deductible.

      I am shocked that people are actually thinking about doing their taxes when it is only April 9th.  Such early birds!
