If someone calls asking to donate — it's not us.
We don't solicit by phone. Ever. Not from a call center, not from a "partner," not from anyone. Our annual mail letter is our only outbound request for money. If you get a call claiming to be PBA Local 172 — it's a scam.
The honest FAQ.
Yes. PBA Local 172 is IRS-recognized as a 501(c)(8) fraternal beneficiary society (EIN 22-3348075), tax-exempt since 2014. Donations are deductible to the extent allowed by law. You'll get a receipt automatically for online donations, or by return mail for checks. Keep it for your records.
Our IRS Form 990 is public and filed every year. You can read every line item — revenue sources, what we spent and on what, our total assets — on our Transparency page or directly at ProPublica. Short version: officers are paid no salary, and we have no debt.
Yes, and we'd love that. Most of our sponsors come on board through the golf outing, but we welcome year-round sponsorships too. Use the contact form and we'll send you the current sponsor packages.
Absolutely. Note the name in the Givebutter form, or on the memo line of a mailed check. We'll let the family know if you'd like.
Online donations are processed through Givebutter, a platform used by thousands of nonprofits. We never see your card number. Mailed checks go directly into the PBA's account, overseen by our elected Treasurer (currently Christopher McIvor) and audited each year as part of our IRS filing.
Yes. Givebutter supports monthly recurring gifts at any amount. A lot of our supporters give $10–$25/month instead of one larger annual gift, and it genuinely helps us plan the year.
