Can I offer contests that involve charity donations in Alabama? What are the requirements?
Based on the documents provided, it appears that Alabama has specific regulations for fantasy contests with entry fees, but there is no specific information regarding contests that involve charity donations. However, organizations that request certification by LARCs must meet certain requirements, including being a tax-exempt charitable organization and submitting a 501(c)(3) exemption from the Internal Revenue Service, being legally incorporated or authorized to do business in the State of Alabama as a private, nonprofit organization, and providing programs of services directed at one or more of the common human needs as defined in Section 5(a) of law in the State of Alabama or in countries overseas [3.1].
It is recommended that you consult with a legal professional to ensure that any contests involving charity donations comply with all applicable laws and regulations in Alabama.
