Does this admission practice additionally constitute illegal fraud? The nonprofit may use a suggested donation approach in order to draw a broad range of participants, rejecting none for financial reasons and yet raising money from those who can pay and would like to do so.

Think of a community dinner or musical performance, where the proverbial hat is passed so that all can enjoy and the expenses can get covered. With enough generous folks in the mix, things generally work out well. The first time I came in I didn't have any money on me, and I actually put money in the box after I started working here.
Some find it easier to calculate a donation after they've seen a performance or attended an event, and can base their payment on the quality of the work like a tip. And, there are those who might still find it difficult to gauge what they should pay, so they just pay what the person in front of them pays.

Here at RedEye, we have distinguished between truly free events and those with suggested donations in our annual summer festival guide.

But the choice is yours whether you want to shell over the couple of bucks at the entrance or spend them on a corn dog. Looking for more to do in Chicago? Skip to content.
