***NOTE REGARDING TAX DEDUCTIBILITY OF BRICK PURCHASES ***

Donations to the City for the bricks are tax deductible, since nothing of value will be received by the donor in return for the contribution. The donor will not be in possession of the brick and therefore will not receive anything of value in exchange for the donation.

The donor may deduct the full value of the contribution for the brick to the "maximum extent allowable under the law." Donors should always consult a qualified tax professional for advice as the City cannot provide tax advice.
