BVPA is a Texas Nonprofit Corporation and Charitable Organization
In November 2023, the Texas Secretary of State certified BVPA as a Texas nonprofit corporation. In December 2023, the IRS issued a Letter of Determination recognizing BVPA as a nonprofit (501(c)3) charitable organization.
In the months ahead we will share more about how these significant changes will benefit BVPA as a professional organization and us as members. Brief examples include:
- Accessing banking and other financial services, software applications to improve our functioning as an organization, available to nonprofit, charitable organizations at substantially reduced or no cost.
- Receiving tax deductible contributions.
- Gaining access to revenue sources, such as grants, that further BVPA’s educational and professional development mission.
BVPA is unique as a Local Area Society of the Texas Psychological Association. Your support and participation as members are what makes this possible.
