I don't remember the laws or any details (which could be limited by state anyway) but in my experience (I was Pres of a 501C3 org for about 3yrs) we had to be very careful about raising funds. There were governement formulas that placed limits to ratios of donations vs fundraisers vs investments vs expenditures vs grants etc. I don't know if it varies by registered charter, but I would think selling star names would throw all those formulas out of whack.
