Is the San Dieguito River Park a 501 (c)(3) organization?
No. However, gifts and bequests to the San Dieguito River Park JPA are deductible for income, gift and estate tax purposes. The San Dieguito River Park JPA accepts and administers donations, gifts, endowments and bequests for conservation purposes. The Joint Powers Authority was established as a separate public entity similar to a city or county. Under the federal tax law, contributions to the JPA are as tax deductible as contributions to a private, charitable “501(c)(3) organization. You may wish, however, to make contributions instead to the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy, a private 501(c)(3) organization which was established by supporters of the San Dieguito River Park.
