ISPA has now been identified as a 501 C 3 charitable organization with the US government's Internal Revenue Service. This means that any US tax payer, individual or company, can donate to ISPA and potentially receive a charitable deduction toward their income taxes (consultation with tax preparer or accountant is recommended). The EC authorized pursuing this status during their meetings last summer in Athens as it is an additional resource stream for ISPA. During the next EC meeting in Hangzhou those present may discuss ways to actualize this resource fully. If you have any questions or are interested in how to go about making contributions please contact Peter Whelley: pwhelley@verizon.net
