To get the 501c3 benefit, where people donate to the concert, people who donate time, money and materials, can take tax breaks means filing with the IRS, and it isn’t that easy, there are rules about non profit orgs that involve what they need to be legal…

On the other hand, if you do a benefit concert and the proceeds all go to charity, then I believe you don’t have to do any filings as such (I could be wrong), and there could be local law involved, too,so it is wise to check.

The IRS has a helpline and their website has information about charitable events and such, might be worth checking out. I would hope the idiots and the lawyers haven’t made it difficult that kids who want to do something good can’t do it, but I suspect in this case what your D is doing is fine,.
