NO, not tax deductible. While MAAC is a not-for-profit - it isn't an dcan't be a charity

Interesting breakdown though.

Even more interesting when you investigate the details of what the numbers mean, and what the various acronyms mean.
For example, donations to the museum are typically in the form of old plans, kits, magazines etc. a friend of mine was a significant contributor this past year, some real gems from his collection are now in MAAC's capable hands.
