The guides on the Telebank Blog are written and maintained by the Telebank Editorial Team. This page explains who we are, how each guide is researched, and how we keep it accurate.
Who we are
Telebank Limited was established in 1999 and provides response handling, supporter care, fulfilment, raffle and donation processing for charities. You can read more about the company on our About Telebank page. The Blog shares practical, plain-English fundraising guidance for small US nonprofits, school parent groups and churches, most of them run by volunteers with little time or budget.
How we research a guide
- Official sources first. Tax and legal points are checked against the source that sets the rule, such as IRS publications or a state regulator, and each guide shows when it was checked.
- What readers actually ask. We review the questions people search for and discuss in community forums, so each guide answers the real follow-up questions.
- Prices and fees with dates. Platform fees and product prices change, so we link the source and note the date checked.
- No invented results. We don't claim tests, statistics or experiences that didn't happen. Product guides say when recommendations are research-based rather than hands-on.
Independence and affiliate links
Some guides include links to products. We may earn a commission from qualifying purchases, at no extra cost to you, and those pages say so at the top. Commissions never decide what we recommend, and free options are included when they are the better fit. Read our affiliate disclosure for details.
General information, not professional advice
Our guides are general information for US organizations. Tax and raffle rules depend on your state and your organization's status, so check with a qualified tax professional or your state regulator before acting on them.
Corrections and updates
We review tax, legal and fee guides every January and update any guide when rules or prices change. If you spot an error, please tell us through our contact page and we will check it and correct the guide.
