Heathwood Hall Episcopal School is exempt from income taxation under the Internal Revenue
Code section 501(c)(3). As such, the school is required in connection with the solicitation or receipt
of quid pro quo contributions in excess of $250 to provide a written statement that:
1. Informs the donor (purchaser) that the amount of the contribution that is deductible for
income tax purposes is limited to the excess of the amount of any money, and the value of
any property other than money, contributed by the donor (purchaser) over the value of the
goods or services provided by the organization to the donor (purchaser), and
2. Provides the donor (purchaser) with a good-faith estimate of the value of goods or services
furnished to the donor (purchaser) by the organization.
Quid pro quo contributions are payments made partly as a contribution and partly in consideration
for goods and services furnished to the donor (purchaser).
Gifts to the school may be fully, partially or non-deductible by the donor (purchaser) for income tax
purposes depending upon the particular facts and circumstances. For more specific information
about the current tax regulations, the donor (purchaser) should contact a professional financial
planner or tax consultant.
Because the auction catalog is published prior to the receipt of many items donated to our auction,
the Heathwood Hall Episcopal School Auction Team reserves the right to adjust minimum and/or
maximum bids as necessary. Please refer to the item and bid sheets, displayed with the items, for
the most up-to-date item descriptions and bidding information.
