But BSA registration fee is not a charitable contribution, right? So still not eligible for 501(c)3 funds?

Was the donation to the BSA or to a local council? Registration would be made payable to local council

doesn't say, unfortunately, just "Boy Scouts of America."

Even if legit, pretty pathetic from @realDonaldTrump. I'm fmr BSA fundraiser and never saw a donation that small

For one of his sons?

Donald Jr. would have been 11 in October 1989. Minimum age to register is 11.

What a steaming pile of poop.

Yeah, that's the problem. Not that a billionaire can't cover his own son's $7 boy scout fee.

My hurt feelings. Grow balls dude.. and change your girly name.

a Trump was a Boy Scout? Not buying it.

technically the Trump Foundation was a Boy Scout.

if they were, maybe they would have done more charitable giving.

Legality aside, just can't get over thought process of a "billionaire" - or anyone - bothering to run $7 through a foundation.

If DT has crushing cash-flow & debt service problems, it makes perfect sense DT avoid spending any of his own cash.

I understand your point, but the cost of processing that $7 check would have arguably exceeded its value. $7!!!

Would Trump care that cost to BoyScouts of processing DT foundation's $7.00 contribution exceeded value of "gift"?

No he wouldn't, but was actually thinking of the foundation's costs. & pretty clear this was member fee not gift.

I doubt DT foundation has any real costs. It (illegally) has no oversight, is unregistered, files no reports...

Opportunity costs of people's time etc. Remember, he signs everything by hand. Silly thing to dwell on but funny.
