其他乐器
Donations of instruments other than pianos are considered on a case-by-case basis. 只要切实可行, arrangements should be made to bring the instrument to the School so that it can be assessed by faculty members.
国税局规定
When the value of the donated instrument exceeds $5,000, IRS regulations require the donor to obtain a qualified appraisal in order for a charitable deduction to be claimed. 另外, the donor will need to complete IRS Form 8283 (Noncash Charitable Contribution) 和 provide it to MSM for completion of the “Donee Acknowledgment” section. We strongly encourage you to consult with your 税 advisor when considering donating an instrument for a charitable deduction.
Once MSM has received your donated instrument, the 慈善办公室 will send an acknowledgement letter recognizing its receipt 和 thanking you for your gift.
