Join us for an online auction fundraiser organized by the Sweet Briar College Alumnae Alliance to benefit our College!

Learn more at www.sbc.edu.

Thank you in advance for supporting Sweet Briar through a donation to the Auction! Donors of items for the Auction may request a donation letter for tax deductible items with the College's 501(c)3 tax donation number. If you have any questions about receiving a tax-deductible receipt, please contact the College at 434-381-6131. A donation to the online Auction, either physical or monetary, goes a long way to helping Sweet Briar be sustainable in perpetuity.

Your gift of Auction item(s) is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law, provided that you establish a written value for it at the time of donation. After the Auction has concluded, the College will send you a letter acknowledging your donation of the Auction item(s). Please consult with your own tax or legal advisor to determine what your allowable tax deduction will be, based on current IRS regulations: https://www.irs.gov/Charities-&-Non-Profits/Charitable-Organizations/Charity-Auctions.

Note: Per IRS regulations, there is no value printed on the tax receipt. For purchasers the tax receipt will be for the amount paid above the fair market value.

For example, if an item has a fair market value of $100.00 and it sells for $125.00, $125.00 will go to the Sweet Briar Fund but the purchaser will receive a receipt for a $25.00 donation. If a tax receipt is expected, there has to be a fair market value listed for the item.

If you have any questions or have an item, please contact Norma Valentine, 2018 Alumna Auction Chairwoman, at 803-522-2709.
