A sponsorship qualifies as tax-deductible only to the extent that it exceeds the value of any benefits the sponsor receives in return (e.g. tickets, conference registration, etc.) The exception is if the sponsor declines to use the registration or offers the conference registrations back to MI-AIMH to use as scholarships, then the full amount would be tax-deductible.
