Permanent Tax-Exempt Status Granted
Nonprofit Recognition Finalized
In 2004, Victories of the Heart was provisionally recognized by the IRS as a 501 (c)3 nonprofit organization. We wanted you to know that we recently received an IRS letter informing us that our tax-exempt status has been made pernament. This means that your contributions to VOH will continue to be tax-deductible. The same will hold for your $200 dues as a Sustaining Member, which will give you access to many valuable benefits, including free attendance at Victories forum workshops (a savings of $20 per workshop), a $100 discount on any of our weekends or training programs, a $50 discount on our annual dinner, and your own personal listing in the online Sustaining Members directory to be launched later this month. If you would like to make a contribution or become a Sustaining Member, please contact Peggy Cicero (312.604.5013, peggy.cicero@victoriesoftheheart.net) or Rick Simon (847.475.0400, rick.simon@victoriesoftheheart.net).
