Is a membership tax-deductible?

The Botanical Research Institute of Texas (BRIT) is a 501(c)(3) organization with tax-exempt status.

Memberships are partially tax-deductible at Supporter, Patron and Affiliate-level memberships. For Access to Affiliate, goods or services valued at $100.00 have been provided. The amount of the membership contribution in excess of the value of goods and services received is tax-deductible to the full extent of the law.

If considering a grant from donor-advised funds to cover annual membership fees, a donor may either waive all tangible benefits or use a personal source to pay the entire membership value. Please consult your donor-advised fund manager, tax advisors, and/or legal counsel.
