This is a terrific question that I get quite a bit as a Delegate Relations Coordinator and Fundraising Blogger for People to People Ambassador Programs. I actually wrote a post about this exact topic on the People to People Ambassador Pay your Way Fundraising Blog. I encourage you to read the post and it should answer your question. If you find that you need additional help I can be contacted at blogideas@peopletopeople.com.

I wrote to P2P with this exact question and received the following answer on Nov. 17, 2009 from their Delegate Relations Coordinator: People to People International, a private sector, nonprofit 501)3 organization originally founded by President Eisenhower. As the travel-coordinating arm of People to People, Ambassador Programs, Inc., is a for-profit organization which provides organizational and logistical support for People to People's non-profit mission. Program tuition or gift donations earmarked and applied toward a student's tuition are NOT tax deductible. IRS regulations state that if the beneficiary of a donation is an individual, the contribution is a non-tax deductible gift. Please keep in mind that we are not tax advisors. You may wish to consult a tax advisor in your area for verification. I would like to add, as a People to People Ambassador Programs, Delegate Relations Coordinator and fundraising blog writer - That it is still possible to ask for contributions and do fundraising.

Sales tax is deductible as an itemized deduction (Schedule A), however you can deduct EITHER: -Sales Tax Paid -State income taxes paid Obviously you would want to deduct whichever is higher.
