Vintage Depression

Are inventory donations to a 501 (c)3 organization tax deductible? Or only monetary donations?

I’m located in Wisconsin and have a small side business in antiques and collectibles. I belong to a non-profit club and donated 15-20 pieces of vintage/depression glass to a charity auction benefiting the club. Would these items be tax deductible? My cost or the sale price at auction? I have records to back up the donation. Thanks in advance for your help.

Most “non-profit clubs” are not 501(c)3 organizations, so that’s the first thing to find out.

Non-cash donations to a 501(c)3 organization are deductible. The determination of the deduction, and the requirements for recordkeeping, are tricky, and if the value is significant, you might want to talk to a CPA about it (NOT Block or Liberty or Hewitt). There are different rules depending on whether the contribution is under $250, over $500, or in between.

Delaware in the Great Depression $18.49 The Great Depression transformed Delaware more than any other event in the modern history of the state. Through vintage photographs, this volume records both the gentle philanthropy of the people and the crushing poverty experienced by 11,000 citizens left chronically unemployed for more than a decade. It portrays the balance between agriculture and industry that defines Delaware as a state. These images show a generation that was born during the 1918 flu epidemic, lived through the worst economic slump of the 20th century, and fought and won war against German fascism and Japanese imperialism. Images of America: Delaware in the Great Depression records the story of the extraordinary people who fundamentally changed the way politics, industry, conservation, and agriculture combine to build a society and how the technological revolutions in this small state helped lay the foundation for the modern world.
