Support PPOT
To remain completely unbiased and objective in the services we provide, PPOT relies heavily on independent donations from our members and small organizations to support our operations. Although the PPOT Leadership Team generously contributes their time and resources, their support alone is not enough. We greatly value the contributions we receive, and 100% of every dollar and donation goes directly towards supporting our core operations, improving our organization, and expanding the resources we provide to our members.
More information regarding stewardship of donations and supporting PPOT can be found below.
Donating to PPOT
We are pleased to offer the ability to accept donations of any amount, on both a one-time and automatically recurring basis. Even small donations go a long way, as PPOT prides itself on our extreme fiscal responsibility. A donation equal to the price of an airport coffee can cover the annual critical infrastructure costs for 5 mentorship pairings.
All donations are documented and you will receive a receipt that can be utilized for tax purposes. All contributions made on our website are voluntary and because no goods or services are provided in return, the full amount donated is tax deductible.
We hope you are as excited as we are for what lies ahead. We would not be where we are today without your involvement and commitment to our cause. As always, thank you for your continued support.
More information regarding PPOT’s 501(c)3 status and non-profit filings is available on request at info@theppot.org.
