A charities law expert says it's advisable charities have a donations policy online.

Horse breeder Mark Chittick says he was told Starship Children's Hospital couldn't accept his offer of $570,000 dollars, because it was associated with horse racing.

The Starship Foundation says it's unable to accept all donations due to existing partnership obligations.
