Is my sponsorship tax-deductible?+
Yes. Pink Powerful Divas is a registered 501(c)(3) public charity, EIN available on request. Your contribution is deductible to the fullest extent allowed by federal law. We issue a written acknowledgment letter (with our EIN, contribution amount, and a statement that no goods or services were provided in exchange, except where noted) within 10 business days of receiving your gift. Consult your CPA for your specific situation — state charitable-giving credits may also apply.
Do benefits like Gala seats or naming reduce my deduction?+
Under IRS rules, the fair-market value of any tangible benefit you receive (e.g., meals at the Gala, event merchandise) is subtracted from your deductible amount. We disclose the FMV of each benefit in your acknowledgment letter so your accountant has the exact deductible figure. Intangible benefits — social media thank-yous, impact reports, storytelling — carry no FMV and do not reduce your deduction.
What kinds of gifts are eligible? Cash only?+
We gladly accept cash, check, ACH, credit card, and wire transfers. We also accept appreciated securities (stocks, mutual funds), donor-advised fund (DAF) grants, IRA qualified charitable distributions (QCDs) for donors 70½+, employer matching gifts, and cryptocurrency by prior arrangement. In-kind goods and services can count toward sponsorship levels at fair market value — please contact us before delivering in-kind commitments.
Does my employer match count toward my sponsorship level?+
Yes. If your employer matches your gift 1:1 or 2:1, the combined total determines your tier. Submit your match paperwork within 60 days of your contribution and we will credit the full matched amount to your recognition benefits.
How and when are recognition benefits delivered?+
Digital benefits (website recognition, social posts, impact reports) go live within 30 days of your first payment. Event benefits (Gala seating, volunteer days, workshop sponsorships) are scheduled as they come up in our annual calendar. We send a written benefit schedule at the start of your sponsorship year so you know exactly what to expect and when.
Can I pay monthly instead of a lump sum?+
Absolutely. Every tier can be paid monthly, quarterly, or annually. Monthly ACH is the most efficient for us — no processing fees deducted from your gift — but we're flexible.
Are there limits on how you'll acknowledge us?+
Yes, and they protect both of us. We do not endorse products, political candidates, or campaigns. We reserve the right to decline sponsorships from organizations whose public conduct conflicts with our mission of empowering women. Acknowledgment language is limited to your name, logo, tagline, and website URL — no calls to action, price information, or comparative claims (IRS guidance on qualified sponsorship payments, IRC §513(i)). We will always share draft recognition copy with you before publication.
Can I remain anonymous?+
Yes. Any tier can be given anonymously — we'll still issue your tax receipt and deliver private benefits (impact reports, briefings), but we'll omit your name from all public recognition.
What happens if we need to pause or cancel?+
Monthly and quarterly commitments can be paused or ended at any time with 30 days' written notice — you keep credit for benefits delivered through your last paid period. Multi-year pledges are non-binding morally but not legally, and we understand circumstances change. Contact us and we will work with you.
How do I get a formal prospectus or EIN letter?+
Email info@pinkpowerfuldivas.org or call 769-777-9111. We'll send a signed sponsorship prospectus, our IRS determination letter, and our most recent Form 990 within one business day.
