Not sure where this question should go, but we are talking to a range in Texas and would like the answer to the following question before we talk to them again.

If a range normally charges for the use of their facility and donates the facility to AS, can the range write off the donation as a tax write off?

The RWVA is a 501(c)3 charitable organization.  As such, donations to RWVA are fully tax deductible, assuming they meet whatever other requirements the IRS may have for qualifying deductions.

As one not licensed to give tax advice, I would urge them to consult their tax preparer to determine the documentation requirements. 

If RWVA has to write a letter accepting the donation, I believe that can be arranged.

"You make the decision now to be afraid, and you will never turn back--your whole life, you will always be afraid."
-- From "Unbreakable"

The litany against fear is an incantation used by the Bene Gesserit in Dune to focus their minds and calm themselves in times of peril. The litany is as follows:

    I must not fear.
    Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear.
    I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
    And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
    Only I will remain.
