Tax Deductibility

All membership payments and supplemental donations are tax deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law, whether you are joining for the first time or renewing an existing membership. The deduction still applies if the payment is made on your behalf by an employer, family member, or other organization.

Each December, we send a reminder about the tax-deductible nature of your membership. This notice includes the option to renew early, which can increase the total amount deductible in the current calendar year. Early renewal is always optional, but it can be a useful way to maximize your deductions before year end.

For your records, we post an annual summary statement in your secure Member Center account. This document lists your total qualifying payments for the year and can be provided to your tax preparer. Our Federal Tax Identification Number (TIN) is 56-0903711, which you may need when reporting charitable contributions or deductions.

Please remember that we are not licensed tax professionals and cannot offer specific tax advice. For guidance on your individual situation, consult your accountant or tax advisor to ensure proper handling of your deduction.
