You'd have to ask your own accountant/lawyer about that. sudo room itself can count membership fees towards the 1/3 of its income that has to come from charitable/exempt activities: http://grantspace.org/tools/knowledge-base/Nonprofit-Management/Establishme… Differences in how different people use the space will not affect whether their membership payments count towards sudo room's 1/3 income and that's what matters for sudo room. How someone uses the space possibly could affect whether or not their own contributions are tax deductible since the test is roughly "do you pay/donate more money than the good/services you receive are worth" but that's up to individuals and their various gods^H^H^H^Hbeaurocrats. I am not a lawyer so take my advice and your own risk. -- marc/juul
