deductible under section 170 of the Code. You are also qualified to receive

as either public charities or private foundations. During your advance ruling
period, you will be treated as a public charity. Your advance ruling period
begins with the effective date of your exemption and ends with advance ruling
ending date shown in the heading of the letter.
Shortly before the end of your advance ruling period, we will send you Form
8734, Support Schedule for Advance Ruling Period. You will have 90 days after
the end of your advance ruling period to return the completed form. We will

FUNDRAISING
Contributions to you are deductible only to the extent that they are gifts and
no consideration is received in return. Depending on the circumstances, ticket
purchases and similar payments in conjunction with fundraising events may not
qualify as fully deductible contributions.
CONTRIBUTIONS OF $250 OR MORE
Donors must have written substantiation from the charity for any charitable
contribution of $250 or more. Although it is the donor's responsibility to
obtain written substantiation from the charity, you can assist donors by
providing a written statement listing any cash,eontribution or describing any
donated property.
This written statement must be provided at the time of the contribution. There
is no prescribed format for the written statement. Letters, postcards and
electronic (e-mail) or computer-generated forms are acceptable.
The donor is responsible for the valuation of donated property. However, your
written statement must provide a sufficient description to support the donor's
contribution.
For contributions of cash, a check or other monetary gift made on or after
January 1, 2007, a donor cannot claim a tax deduction unless the donor
maintains a record of the contribution in the form of either a bank record
(such as a cancelled check) or a written communication from the charity (such
as a receipt or letter) showing the name of the charity, the date of the
contribution, and the amount of the contribution.
For additional information regarding donor substantiation, see Publication
1771, Charitable Contributions - Substantiation and Disclosure Requirements.
For information about the valuation of donated property, see Publication 561,
Determining the Value of Donated Property.
CONTRIBUTIONS OF MORE THAN $75 AND
CHARITY PROVIDES GOODS OR SERVICES
You must provide a written disclosure statement to donors who receive goods or
services from you in exchange for contributions in excess of $75.

contributions exceed the value of the goods or services received in exchange.
Letter 1045 (DO/CG)

-LODESTAR DAY RESOURCE CENTER INC
Ticket purchases and similar payments in conjunction with fundraising events
may not necessarily qualify as fully deductible contributions, depending on the
circumstances. If you conduct fundraising events such as benefit dinners,
shows, membership drives, etc., where something of value is received, you are
required to provide a written statement informing donors of the fair market
value of the specific items or services you provided in exchange for
contributions of more than $75.
You should provide the written disclosure statement in advance of any event,
determine the fair market value of any benefit received, determine the amount
of the contribution that is deductible, and state this information in your
fundraising materials such as solicitations, tickets, and receipts. The amount
of the contribution that is deductible is limited to the excess of any money
(and the value of any property other than money) contributed by the donor less
the value of goods or services provided by the charity. Your disclosure
statement should be made, no later than, at the time payment is received.
Subject to certain exceptions, your disclosure responsibility applies to any
fundraising circumstances where each complete payment, including the
contribution portion, exceeds $75. For additional information, see Publication
1771 and Publication 526, Charitable Contributions.
EXCESS BENEFIT TRANSACTIONS
Excess benefit transactions are governed by section 4958 of the Code. Excess
benefit transactions involve situations where a section 501(c)(3) organization
provides an unreasonable benefit to a person who is in a position to exercise
substantial influence over the organization's affairs. If you believe there
may be an excess benefit transaction in which you are involved, you should
report the transaction on Form 990 or 990-EZ. For information on how to
correct and report this transaction, see the instructions for Form 990 and
Form 990-EZ, or call our toll free number shown above.

security taxes imposed under the Federal Insurance Contribution Act (FICA),

wages during a calendar year. To know how much income tax to withhold, you

for each employee. Organizations described in section 501(c) (3) of the Code
are not required to pay Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) tax.
Employment taxes are reported on Form 941, Employer's Quarterly Federal Tax
Return. The requirements for withholding, depositing, reporting and paying
employment taxes are explained in Circular E, Employer's Tax Guide,
(Publication 15), and Employer's Supplemental Tax Guide, (Publication 15-A).
These publications explain your tax responsibilities as an employer,

Letter 1045 (DO/CG)

-7-
LODESTAR DAY RESOURCE CENTER INC
Churches may employ both ministers and church workers. Employees of churches
or church-controlled organizations are subject to income tax withholding, but
may be exempt from FICA taxes. Churches are not required to pay FUTA tax. In
addition, although ministers are generally common law employees, they are not
treated as employees for employment tax purposes. These special employment tax
rules for members of the clergy and religious workers are explained in
Publication 517, Social Security and Other Information for Members of the
Clergy and Religious Workers. Churches should also consult Publications 15 and
15-A. Publication 1828, Tax Guide for Churches and Religious Organizations,
also discusses the various benefits and responsibilities of these organizations
under Federal tax law.
PUBLIC CHARITY STATUS
Every organization that qualifies for tax-exemption as an organization
described in section 501(c)(3) is a private foundation unless it falls into one
of the categories specifically excluded from the definition of that term
[referred to in section 509(a)(1), (2), (3), or (4)1. In effect, the
definition divides these organizations into two classes, namely private
foundations and public charities.
The Code section under which you are classified as a public charity is shown in
the heading of your exemption letter. This determination is based on the
information you provided and the request you made on your Form 1023
application. Please refer to Publication 557 for additional information about
public charity status.
GRANTS TO INDIVIDUALS
The following information is provided for organizations that make grants to
individuals. If you begin an individual grant program that was not described
in your exemption application, please inform us about the program.
Funds you distribute to an individual as a grant must be made on a true
charitable basis in furtherance of the purposes for which you are organized.
Therefore, you should keep adequate records and case histories that demonstrate
that grants to individuals serve your charitable purposes. For example, you
should be in a position to substantiate the basis for grants awarded to
individuals to relieve poverty or under a scholarship or education loan
program. Case histories regarding grants to individuals should show names,
addresses, purposes of grants, manner of selection, and relationship (if any)
to members, officers, trustees, or donors of funds to you.
For more information on the exclusion of scholarships from income by an
individual recipient, see Publication 970, Tax Benefits for Education.

The Lodestar Day Resource Center (LDRC) serves as the main resource point for homeless
individuals who are accessing the supportive services that are used in conjunction with the
emergency shelter, food and medical/dental care provided on the Human Services Campus
(Campus). Services are provided directly by the LDRC or through partnership with homeless
providers and are aligned to move individuals towards housing in an efficient and effective
manner. The LDRC provides access to legal identification; job readiness and placement
assistance; benefit enrollment through DES; substance abuse treatment and behavioral
healthcare; and resolution of legal issues through the Homeless Court. In addition, the LDRC
offers a Learning Center and a US Post Office.
In 2013, the efforts of the LDRC were enhanced through partnership with the Human Services
Campus LLC (HSC) to implement the Coordinated Assessment Program (CAP). The CAP team
is now the primary point of contact for identifying, engaging, assessing and connecting homeless
individuals with services and housing necessary to end their homelessness in the shortest
possible time. Following assessment, individuals are directed to services and resources available
at the LDRC aTid on the Campus or diverted to community resources -Mr homeless youth, victims
of domestic violence, and veterans.

any single source of funding. The funding base includes government funding through the AZ Department
of Housing; grants through public and private sources; revenue from special events; and financial support
from individual donors. In 2013, the LDRC began partnering with the Human Services Campus to
