Can the federal government make charitable contributions?

I am not sure what you mean. The federal governent does gove money to private charities, is that what you mean? For instance the government gives a lot of money to Bill Gates’ charity.

The government gives grants to charities. They don’t make contributions.

Do you mean like foreign aid?

The U.S. Government is putting me through college.

Would you explain please @_Whitetigress?

@Adirondackwannabe: “The government gives grants to charities. They don’t make contributions.”

Could you be more specific?

Never mind. I found this link; Federal Funds for Organizations that Help Those in Need

Are you kidding? The Feds are all about charity. It is easy to be charitable with other peoples money. HA!
