Why wouldn't they be? I donate to schools and the donations are tax deductible.I don't understand why he'd have to pay taxes on money he donated.
Not all donations are tax breaks, for example most of the Police societies that collect for fallen officers have no tax exemptions either, nor fire departments or rescue squads. Why would a donation to a college be tax exempt?
Public schools are different since they run on TAXES to begin with. Depending on the college that simply is not true. My donations to my local volunteer fire department is not even tax deductable. Nor any of the sheriff or State Trooper societies I give to. The emergency vehicle fund is not tax deductable either. In fact nothing I donate money to is.
