Donor recognition
Stand with Haywood County, and let people see it

Priority seating at our events
Badge holders are seated first and hosted with food and beverages. Because those have real value, we show you the estimate up front — that portion isn't tax-deductible.
How this works with your taxes
Recognition levels and badges carry no monetary value, so they don't affect your deduction. Food, beverages, and reserved seating do. When you attend an event, the current legal receipt issuer discloses a good-faith estimate in writing, and only the amount of your contribution above it is deductible. Nothing here is tax advice — talk to your preparer about your situation.
