Q. What portion of my membership is tax-deductible?
A. All membership gifts of $124 or less are fully tax-deductible as are all Friend membership dues and of course any donations to the Foundation. The amount of membership donation that is not tax-deductible depends upon the tangible value of benefits provided. Visit the membership page for a complete listing of member levels and the amounts of your contribution that are not tax-deductible. If you prefer to make your contribution fully tax-deductible, let us know and we can withhold certain benefits so that your membership meets IRS guidelines.
