Last month the division had floated what it called a "pre- proposal" for a rule requiring that non-profits tell potential donors they may designate which of the charity's programs their money should fund. It would also have required non-profits to note in their fund-raising appeals that any non-directed donations could be used for whatever purposes the charities chose, including general operating expenses.
