FAR 91.146 defines a Charitable Flight as the following:
1) My company sells raffel tickets to its employees
2) The funds from the raffel tickets only goes to offset my expenses of the flight. (Proceeds are not being donated to charitable organization)
3) A local sight-seeing flight is given to a child from Make-a-Wish foundation.
4) The employee who wins the raffel ticket drawing gets to ride on the flight too.
No funds are being donated, the raffel proceeds are only being used to offset my flight expenses.
Does this fall under 91.146 - Chartiable Flight?
Charitable event means an event that raises funds for the benefit of a charitable organization recognized by the Department of the Treasury whose donors may deduct contributions under section 170 of the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C. Section 170).
So if I do the following, is it "charitable"?1) My company sells raffel tickets to its employees
2) The funds from the raffel tickets only goes to offset my expenses of the flight. (Proceeds are not being donated to charitable organization)
3) A local sight-seeing flight is given to a child from Make-a-Wish foundation.
4) The employee who wins the raffel ticket drawing gets to ride on the flight too.
No funds are being donated, the raffel proceeds are only being used to offset my flight expenses.
