<br>I don’t know about the majority of donors, but a 501(c) can accept money from donor-directed charitable funds, which would probably be appealing to the well-heeled. And note that unreimbursed business expenses are generally no longer deductible (since 2018).</div></blockquote></div></div><br></body></html>
