One neat trick to avoid exceptions when the association isn't compulsory is to do:

delegate :taxid, :to => '(organization or return nil)'

Thanks Alex, and yes I could have named it Ã¢â‚¬Å“delegate NOW in the Rails APIÃ¢â‚¬Â but I did that on purpose because I couldn’t find the method in the rails API so I named it that.

Good post, but did you mean to say “delegate NOW in the Rails API” instead of “delegate NOT in the Rails API”?
