The following information is provided for general guidance and is not intended as tax advice. We recommend consulting your own tax advisor for confirmation and personalized guidance.
Some members have asked whether donations to the Joe’s Pond Association are tax-deductible. Donations made directly to the JPA are NOT tax-deductible because the JPA is a 501(c)(7) tax-exempt social club, not a 501(c)(3) charitable organization.
If you wish to make a tax-deductible donation to support milfoil management or fireworks at Joe’s Pond, you may send a check to the Town of Danville and specify in the memo line or in an accompanying letter that your donation is for “Joe’s Pond milfoil”.
The Town of Danville’s mailing address is P.O. Box 183, Danville, VT 05828.
Donations made to a town or municipality for the public benefit are tax-deductible. The Town of Danville will track all donations designated for each of those public benefit items separately, and will use those funds exclusively for those items by either paying costs directly or reimbursing the JPA for costs incurred.
If you have a Donor Advised Fund, you can direct the administrator to send a check to the Town of Danville and specify that the check is for “Joe’s Pond milfoil”.
Starting in 2026, non-itemizers may deduct charitable contributions of up to $1,000 per taxpayer.
Qualified charitable distributions from tax-deferred accounts cannot be made as described above because the QCD rules require that donations be made to a 501(c)(3) organization and neither the JPA nor the Town of Danville qualify.
Those who do not need a tax benefit should continue making contributions directly to the JPA, as in past years.
