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.
| We are the professional organization for psychologists in the Brazos Valley, including Brazos, Grimes, Robertson, Madison, Leon, Burleson and Washington counties. Our mission is to provide local psychologists with opportunities for professional growth, help build and maintain a collegial network, and foster constructive relations with allied professionals. We help our members stay informed of current evidence based practices as well as legal and ethical issues to promote the best mental health services possible in our community. We also encourage advocacy of the profession of psychology and help our members stay abreast of legislative changes. We welcome all professionals in the mental health field, including marriage and family therapists, social workers, professional counselors, and students working towards a degree in the mental health field. |
Relationship to other organizations: The Brazos Valley Psychological Association is an independent local organization which is voluntarily affiliated with the Texas Psychological Association through its charter as a local area society.
