The Charity First Series has just published a new guide for UK charities that are
trying to fundraise from donors in the USA.

**Organising and Operating a US Charity – A Guide to US 501(c)(3) Organisations**
is a reference guide that explains how charities can obtain and maintain US charitable
status, and how they must adhere to federal tax rules that apply to charities that
operate in the US.

It covers the rules which govern tax deductible donations, and explains the fundraising
and operational implications of qualification as a public charity or private foundation
in the US.
