here, particularly "to the extend of applicable law" - I certainly
don't know what it means. And "tax preparer" is an odd term. And a lot
of people don't have a "tax preparer" - it would be good to give an
indication of how they might proceed to claim the tax back.
Is this valid only for the US? Or also in other parts of the world?
This is how gov.uk [1] phrases it:
"Donations by individuals to charity or to community amateur sports
clubs (CASCs) are tax free. This is called tax relief."
And American Red Cross [2]:
"$10.00 is the minimum online donation. All donations are tax deductible."
Maybe something like:
"The GNOME Foundation is a non-profit organization and if you live in
the US your donation is tax free.
Contact your tax office for more information."
