Why are the donations made by sitters through the "Sit a Dog, Save a Life" Program not tax deductible?

I would donate directly, once I read that I took it off of my options for pay. I dislike that Rover gets credit with this choice, but it is what it is.

As stated: "...will not reveal your identity. The charity recipient(s) will not issue a receipt to you for this allocation of funds, and it is not tax-deductible" Rover is using "their" identity, getting the receipt and taking the tax deduction. You would be getting the badge which rover thinks is a great promotion for your business. Rover hosts that also want the tax deduction, donates directly to their chosen rescue or humane organizations. I would recommend connecting personally and directly to your local Humane Society or rescue organization, make contributions to them and ask if they would share your business cards. It would be a "win/win" for you, the organization And new pet owners. You can list your charitable org. on your profile. Unfortunately, it's an either/or. Do you want the tax deduction or the "badge".
