Donations

Badger Steam & Gas Engine Club was started back in 1963 with the idea to encourage the collecting of antique farm equipment and the displaying of it once a year at a show. 

Your support of this mission will ensure that the club can bring/have interesting displays year after year at our show.

We are a Non Profit 501(c) (3) organization. Donations to BS&GEC may be tax deductible.

Physical Equipment

Your donation of equipment needs approval of the board.

Fill out this form and the next board meeting will evaluate your donation and let you know if we accept or need more information.

Donation of Needed Items

We have a list of needed items.  If you have something we need, fill out this form and the board will get in touch with you.

Monetary Donations

Donations can benefit our mission or be specified for a particular purpose.

The Badger Steam and Gas Engine Club Appreciates your thinking of us and donating. For physical and needed items donations we will get back to you after the next Board meeting. Board Meetings occur monthly except December.

Additional Information about donating.

For non-cash contributions worth more than $500, the IRS requires Form 8283. If you’re claiming they’re worth more than $5,000, you must also include an appraisal.
Form 8282 vs. Form 8283: What’s the Difference? While Form 8283 is for donors to complete, Form 8282 is the responsibility of the “donee organization” (i.e. the charity receiving the donation). The Giving Block also helps nonprofits complete Form 8282 for accurate reporting of cryptocurrency donations.

If you donated via a peer-to-peer money transfer app like Venmo, PayPal or Zelle, the transaction record won’t be enough for the IRS

Do you need to see proof of cash donations for taxes?

For contributions of cash, check, or other monetary gift (regardless of amount), you must maintain a record of the contribution: a bank record or a written communication from the qualified organization containing the name of the organization, the amount, and the date of the contribution.
