Part 3 of 3 Part Series on Legal Aspects of Fundraising: Corporate Sponsorship and Cause Marketing
Nonprofits often team up with for-profit companies to conduct fundraising activities, with part of the proceeds from the sale of a product or service (such as a book or t-shirt) benefiting the nonprofit.

The distinction is significant because advertising income can be considered Unrelated Business Income and can therefore be taxable.
