Can someone make a donation to the council and have the funds go to an individual unit?

No, we cannot accept a donation intended to be given to an individual unit. The IRS grants group tax-exemption exclusively to local councils. Because units operate under their chartered organizations, councils cannot legally accept and transfer tax-deductible donations directly to a unit.
