I know that may be a dumb question, but husband just asked and I can't seem to google up a simple answer.

1. My guess is yes.
They're an LLC, not a non-profit.

2. Yes (I think)
DU is an LLC, not a "charity" so to speak. I do believe anything raised would be counted as income, and therefore subject to taxation.

Still worth it, though.

3. I would imagine any net profit taken from the proceeds is taxable.

...as a company, they would be able to write off a certain amount of business expenses, i.e., operating costs.

5. I'm sure they have an accountant to handle this stuff.
Not Arthur Anderson, naturally (old joke)
