501c3

[This question about Friends of the Library and $$$ is from a municipal public library]

A local artist has asked for us to become a fiscal sponsor (act as a “pass-through” organization). Is this something a public library can do?

I found some information that may indicate that association libraries which charge patrons for faxes should collect sales tax.

I work at a special district public library, and we are not currently a 501(c)(3).

We are a library that is a hybrid government agency (special taxing district) and a 501(c)3.

Is it legal for a Friends of the Library group to hold their funds and not to use those funds to support the library's mission?

A member asked if there are any legal issues to consider when using GoFundMe to fund-raise, especially for association libraries.
