Dear Prof. Doran,

We were delighted to see your question, and it caused us to check with 
our lawyer.  He said that our application for TAX DEDUCTIBLE FOR DONORS 
status (501(c)3 or similar) has been with the IRS for months, but they 
have not yet completed their examination.  So at this time one can make 
a donation by sending a check payable to:

Darwin Day Celebrations, Inc.
2682 Middlefield Road
Redwood City, CA  94063

If one wants to make a tax-deductible donation, one would have to wait 
until next year.

We have already received a substantial donation in appreciated stock, so 
we can receive donations in that form.  We intend to have a PayPal 
account or similar method for electronic donations.   Eventually we 
should also have a clear set of instructions for people who wish to 
donate through their wills. 

Thank you for giving us a reason to examine this important question.

Can we be of further assistance in this regard?

  - David Harris, Chief Outreach Officer and Database Architect for 
Darwin Day Celebration
