Are donations to the fire relief fund tax-deductible?

Donations made to the City of Spokane (EIN 91-6001280) for fire relief are tax-deductible as charitable contributions to the extent allowed by law. Please keep a bank record or written receipt of your gift for tax purposes — donations of $250 or more require a written acknowledgment from the City, which we will provide. We encourage donors to consult IRS Tax Topic 506 or their tax advisor for guidance on their individual situation.
