text: how do donations work for my sole-proprietorship if i'm not a non-profit? i'm starting up an arts organization, but am only a sole-proprietorshop and don't want to go full non-profit unless i know i can handle the load.  however, i still want to offer free community services and get in-kind donations and apply for art grants.  i'm aware of umbrella organizations, but am hoping there's a way i can still do in-kind donations through the business - is this possible?
