Are we eligible?
Memberships providing tax exemption under Parent Booster USA's group exemption are limited to nonprofit organizations that support (i.e., raise funds and recruit volunteers for) a school (including public and private schools, athletic schools/gyms, and city/county recreation departments). See the PBUSA Membership Agreement for basic eligibility guidelines.
Cooperative fundraising
Does your group credit its members individually for funds raised or volunteer time? The IRS does not recognize cooperative fundraising as a tax-exempt activity. See PBUSA's Individual Fundraising Account (IFA) policy.
State filing fees
Filing fees vary greatly by state and therefore cannot be included in the cost of membership. Any state filing fees will be invoiced as applicable at the time of filing. PBUSA does not keep any portion of these fees — all funds are transferred directly to your state.
