Boy Scouts of America is a tax-exempt organization. For advice on deducting your Boy Scout donations and expenses, see this official BSA blog: https://blog.scoutingmagazine.org/2011/03/03/tax-time/.
Does one Donald Trump speech mean that BSA should lose its tax-exempt status?
No, it would be silly, foolish, and extreme to make this argument.
But it is silly, foolish and extreme to say that last night’s speech was not political—to the contrary, it was likely his most political speech since becoming president, filled with political pressure and threats on the eve of a huge Senate vote, and also featuring several Cabinet members.
It is also silly, foolish, and extreme to overlook the fact that many, if not most, of the 30,000 teenage boys in attendance will be eligible to vote in 2020.
And, it would be silly, foolish, and extreme to overlook the fact that Trump’s audience was overwhelmingly white and male. See photo.
So, let’s start paying attention to BSA speeches and other events to make sure that we can still donate to this worthy 501(c)(3) organization with confidence.
