Year-End Charitable Giving

Your Economic Club is a non-profit 501(c)3 charitable organization

    Adding your Club to your year-end charitable giving can help meet ever-increasing speaker fee expenses and give you a tax deduction for your gift. As you know, your Club Officers and Board are all volunteers. What you may not know is each year 99+% of Club revenue goes to cover program expenses, with less than 1% going to cover administrative expenses. As fees for the speakers continue to rise, your support of the Speaker Fund would be greatly appreciated by all your fellow Club members.

    To help support your Club's budget and enable the continuation of interesting and valuable speakers, please consider sending your tax-deductible donation to:
