Dues payments, contributions, and gifts are not tax deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes; however, they may be deductible as ordinary and necessary business expenses. Two percent (2%) of membership dues is allocated for lobbying-related activities and therefore is non-deductible as a business expense for federal income tax purposes. (Subject to change.)

The Council accepts members regardless of race, creed, sex, color,
physical disability, and national or ethnic origin.
