Why Contribute?

        Immigration Voice is planning to advocate our issues to both chambers of congress ahead of time so that the bill is written in a way that creates a real reform that can be consequential to our issues. We have been successful in introducing amendments in 2006 during the Senate debate and bills in Congress in 2008, and we will be again successful this year if we have strong funding for advocacy efforts.

Are my contributions tax-deductible?

         Even though our organization helps a large number of people, since lobbying is a significant part of our expenses, we have a Tax exemption status under section 501(c)(4) . Because our Organization is not an Organization described in section 170(c) of the code, contributors may not deduct contributions made to our organization.Read more about this at the IRS website.

Where is the money spent and what is the accountability?  

 

 

 

 

              Immigration Voice is a non-profit organization. Monies collected by Immigration Voice go towards grassroots efforts and obtaining advice from our strategic counsel Patton Boggs. As a 501(c)(4) organization, Immigration Voice is obligated to file tax returns with the IRS and have its accounts audited by a CPA.

          The Team members and volunteers who are running this organization have a lot to lose if they misuse the funds and break the tax laws as it would hurt their own immigration process if they do so. The IRS tax code that dictates the use of funds for a non-profit ensure the accountability of the financials of this organization.  

         We realize that these contributions are public funds collected from a number of people who want a solution to the issue of inordinate waiting periods for EB Green Cards. We have taken great care in making sure that there is proper oversight of the funds collected and disbursed and transparency in the funds utilization. All funds are collected in the name of the organization only and not in any particular individual's name.   

Note: Members are advised that by contributing to Immigration Voice in cash, kind, volunteering efforts, or by any other means of involvement, members realize that Immigration Voice is not liable for any delays in processing or inefficiencies inherent in the federal, state and other government agencies, given the nature of the system. Immigration Voice simply advocates and attempts to enlighten the community, policy makers and other parties that influence the institution of laws in the United States of changes required to make the system more efficient and considerate to employment-based immigrants and high-skilled workers. By contributing in any way to Immigration Voice, it is understood that no contract exists by which Immigration Voice can be held responsible for any changes to the immigration system. By reading this disclaimer, members understand that Immigration Voice attempts to advocate reforms in good faith. Any contribution made to Immigration Voice is non-refundable. Immigration Voice is Tax exempt under section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code, since Immigration Voice is not an organization as described in section 170(c) of the code, donors may not deduct contributions that have been made
