HANDICAPPED VETERANS SERVICE DOGS  INITIATIVE PAC TRANSPARENCY STATEMENT 


The Handicapped Veterans Service Dogs Initiative PAC, is a program of a non-party political organization  (not a charity) established and regulated under section 527 of the federal tax code. Our hope is to raise  awareness about Veterans legislation and to encourage people to take action by electing a Candidate that  will help support these issues. We hope to accomplish this goal through a combination of efforts, including  but not limited to, telephone outreach, direct mail, and digital marketing campaigns. 


Our calling campaign aims to inform and empower individuals to make their voices heard and help elect  leaders who advocate for policy changes that benefit the Veterans community. We use professionals to help  us to accomplish these goals. Some paid contractors may use sub-contractors to help consolidate the costs  and administrative labor of achieving these goals. 
We want to be transparent about our financial practices and the allocation of funds within our organization. When you make a contribution, we want you to know that a minimum of 90 cents of every dollar will be  dedicated to covering our fundraising costs and outreach efforts. These costs may include essential  expenses such as telephone outreach costs, printed material, postage, mail processing services, courier  service, accounting services, and other operational necessities used to ensure a successful campaign. 


By ensuring that a significant portion of each contribution is allocated to fundraising, we can reach a wider  audience, raise awareness about our cause, and generate the necessary resources to support our mission.  While we strive to keep these costs as low as possible, it is important to acknowledge that fundraising  activities play a crucial role in sustaining our organization and allowing us to make a lasting impact. 


Please bear in mind that as an IRS 527 Political Organization we advocate for the needs of our Veterans,  by informing voters of these needs and asking them to take action. This is our only purpose, we do not give  money or financial support to any person or Veterans organization as we are not a charity. We also do not in  any way give money or directly coordinate with any candidates or elected officials as that could be a violation  of laws that limit or prohibit contributions by an incorporated entity. Any contribution to our organization is  not tax-deductible for federal or state income tax purposes. 


Should you ever wish to request a refund, we kindly ask you to provide us with a copy of a canceled check,  or proof of credit card charge, and we will promptly process your refund. Our commitment to you is to handle  such requests immediately, ensuring that you have complete confidence and control over your contribution. 
​


Thank you again for your support, together we can make a difference!!
