Line 2a. Check “Yes” if at any time during the tax year the
organization had a written or oral agreement with another person
or entity in connection with professional fundraising services.
Do not include an officer, director, trustee, or employee who
conducts professional fundraising services solely in one’s
capacity as an officer, director, trustee, or employee of the
organization.
General Instructions
The organization must report all agreements for professional
fundraising services regardless of the form of agreement (written
or oral). For example, an organization that had a written contract
with a business to supply printing and mailing services would
report that agreement here if the business also provided to the
organization professional fundraising services such as strategy
on mailing.
Note. Terms in bold are defined in the Glossary of the
Instructions for Form 990.
Purpose of Schedule
Schedule G (Form 990) is used by an organization that files
Form 990 or Form 990-EZ to report professional fundraising
services, fundraising events, and gaming.

Report the fundraising activities consistently with terms used
by the organization in the management of its fundraising
program. For example, if an organization contracts with a single
fundraiser to advise on and coordinate all of its direct mail
fundraising, it might enter “consults on direct mail program.” If a
consultant were hired to perform data analysis for all aspects of
an organization's public solicitation, it might enter “provides
database consulting for direct mail, telephone, Internet, and
email.”
Column (iii). For this purpose, custody or control means
possession of the funds or the authority to deposit, direct the use
of, or use the funds. Describe the custody or control
arrangement in Part IV.

more than $15,000 of expenses for professional fundraising
services on Form 990, Part IX, Statement of Functional
Expenses, lines 6 and 11e. Form 990-EZ filers aren’t required to
complete Part I.

total of more than $15,000 of fundraising event gross income

services provided by the fundraiser listed in column (i) and

more than $15,000 of gross income from gaming activities on
Form 990, Part VIII, line 9a; or (2) reported more than $15,000 of
gross income from gaming on Form 990-EZ, Part I, line 6a.
A professional fundraiser can deliver services during the tax
year and be properly reported on line 2b but have no gross
receipts to report in column (iv). For example, an organization
may retain a fundraiser to conduct a feasibility study for a capital
campaign. The campaign, if there were to be one, could be
conducted in, and produce receipts in, subsequent tax years.
Likewise, a fundraiser might be hired to plan and produce
programming for a media campaign. Fees would be properly
reported in the tax year, but there might be no receipts to report
until subsequent years when the programming actually airs. In
each case, the organization can properly report a “-0-” in column
(iv).
If an organization isn't required to file Form 990 or Form
990-EZ but chooses to do so, it must file a complete return and
provide all of the information requested, including the required
schedules.

distributions from its gaming proceeds to retain its gaming
license or registration in any state.
Line 11. If any nonmembers participated in gaming conducted
by the organization during the tax year, check “Yes.”
Membership is determined in accordance with the organization's
organizing documents and applicable law. For purposes of this
question, bona fide guests of members attending with them
should also be treated as members. “Bona fide guests” are
individuals whom the member invites and for whom the member
pays. If, for example, a nonmember pays for their own wagers in
gaming activities, they are considered a nonmember, even
though they may have entered the organization’s premises with a
member. Also, if an organization requires only a nominal
payment to join as a “member,” individuals making such a
payment to gain admission to the organization’s facilities or
activities aren’t considered members or bona fide guests. See
Pub. 3079, Tax-Exempt Organizations and Gaming, for more
information.
Line 17b. For all states in which the organization conducted
gaming, enter the aggregate amount of distributions required
under state law to be distributed to other exempt organizations or

a trust or a member of a partnership or other entity formed to
administer charitable gaming, check “Yes.” For purposes of this
