TixGiving works with nonprofit partners in communities across the United States and actively develops new partnerships as ticket opportunities arise. Our ability to place tickets depends on available lead time, local partner participation, event requirements, and the needs of the communities we serve. While we cannot guarantee placement of every ticket donation, we are not limited to a fixed geographic service area.

1. Review. Ticket donations are subject to Foundation review and approval. Submission is not approval or confirmation of receipt.
2. Custody and admission arrangements. For charitable ticket contributions, the Foundation records receipt and confirms the applicable custody requirements before issuing an acknowledgment. Electronic transfer is one way to establish custody; submitting ticket details or accepting an offer does not establish it. Community Share tickets may instead use provider-managed will call or guest lists. The venue, team, or ticket provider retains control of admission, and the Foundation coordinates recipient names. Provider-held seats are not treated as charitable contributions merely because the Foundation helps arrange access.
3. Placement and acceptance. The Foundation offers tickets to a nonprofit partner, which accepts or declines. Community Share tickets may also be placed with another appropriate recipient. A placement or acceptance record is separate from ticket delivery.
4. Delivery. Depending on the arrangement, delivery may involve electronic tickets or provider confirmation of a will call or guest list. Acceptance alone does not complete those steps.

These are separate facts. A partner accepting tickets does not by itself mean the tickets were delivered, and delivery does not mean anyone attended. A partner report of ticket use is identified as partner-reported; it is not venue-verified attendance. Venue confirmation or scan evidence is recorded separately when available. Without attendance evidence, we do not claim attendance.

Tickets contributed to the Foundation as charitable contributions are subject to review, custody requirements, and acknowledgment eligibility as described on our tax information page.

Some tickets are shared with us for community distribution rather than as a charitable contribution, for example by a provider who wants unused seats to reach the community. We call these Community Share tickets. We handle them with the same care, but we do not issue charitable contribution acknowledgments for them.

The Foundation issues one written acknowledgment for an eligible charitable ticket contribution once it verifies receipt of the tickets in a Foundation-controlled account. Before that, a submission is a pending transfer. Placement, delivery, and event outcomes are reported separately in an Impact Update, which is not a tax receipt and never withdraws the acknowledgment. Neither submission nor partner acceptance alone establishes receipt.

An acknowledgment describes the tickets received; it does not determine their value or whether any amount is deductible. Our standard acknowledgment states that no goods or services were provided in exchange. If an exchange occurred, it must be disclosed to the Foundation so the documentation can accurately reflect it.

TixGiving does not appraise donated tickets or state their value. Donors are responsible for their own valuation and should consult a qualified tax professional.

Nonprofit partners apply to TixGiving and are reviewed by a person before approval, including a check against public IRS records. Approval is not a guarantee of an organization's conduct or continuing eligibility. Approval can be revoked. Revocation withdraws unaccepted offers and removes approved-partner access to recipient allocations and claim consents on TixGiving. It does not erase information the partner may already have received or retained outside the site. Partners decide which of the people they serve receive tickets.

We do not share information about ticket recipients with donors or the public. Partners may keep the identities of the people they serve confidential. See our privacy policy.

• Placement of every ticket donation. Timing, location, event requirements, and partner availability all matter.
• Immediate or automatic approval. Ticket donations are subject to Foundation review and approval.
• Control over ticket providers' own transfer, will call, or admission systems.
• That every feature of the site will stay the same. We continue to improve our tools.

Form 990-N is the Foundation's own annual notice to the IRS. It is separate from the written acknowledgments donors receive. Nothing on this page should be read as an endorsement by the IRS or any other agency.
