I was going to make a donation to the gofundme site for NAPC, and could not
find out from the site if it is tax deductible. With all the non-profits
circling around all the organizers of NAPC and other permies, it seems like
keeping Uncle Sam from making bombs with part of our donations would be easy
to do.

Koreen, do you or any others know? Or know of a deductible way to donate to
NAPC?
