While we cannot solicit donations from people in states where we are not yet registered, we know of no prohibition against accepting donations from donors in these states who approach us with an offer to donate.

Si bien no podemos solicitar donaciones de personas en estados donde aún no estamos registrados, no conocemos ninguna prohibición en contra de aceptar donaciones de donantes en estos estados que se acerquen a nosotros con una oferta de donar.

International donations are accepted, but we don't know ANYTHING about how to make them tax-deductible, or even if they CAN be made deductible, and don't have the staff to handle it even if there are ways.

Se aceptan donaciones internacionales, pero no sabemos NADA sobre cómo hacerlas deducibles de impuestos, ni siquiera si PUEDEN hacerse deducibles, y no tenemos el personal para manejarlo incluso si hay formas de hacerlo.
