No. The use of funds derived from tax-exempt donations to accomplish the charitable purposes stated in the non-profits articles and by-laws is all that a non-profit can use.Should a donor give money for a specific purpose, those funds cannot be used by a non-profit for a different purpose unless: (a) the non-profit receives permission from the donorp or, (b) the non-profit files a lawsuit seeking permission from a court and, notifies the Texas Attorney General of the suit.
