You have all the say in the matter. Many a 501©(3) has lost its tax-exempt status or, at the very least, found itself in court on the losing end over this sort of behavior. Donors MUST be able to trust the organization to handle directed donations appropriately. The only options a 501©(3) has are 1) take the donation and forward it on, 2) try to talk the donor out of directing the donation, or 3) turn it down. Vicki
