NOMA is a professional nonprofit organization under section 501(c)(6) of the IRS tax code. As such, contributions (i.e., donations) made directly to NOMA are NOT deductible as charitable contributions on a donor’s federal income tax return. They may be deductible as trade or business expenses if ordinary and necessary in the conduct of the taxpayer's business. The donee organization may be required to make certain disclosures and pay a proxy tax in connection with the dues payment.
Important Notice: Donations made to NOMA are vital for supporting our mission and ongoing initiatives. However, because we are classified as a 501(c)(6) organization, these contributions do not qualify for tax deductions as charitable contributions. We strongly encourage donors to consult with their tax advisors to understand the full implications of their donations and to explore alternative ways to support our cause that may be tax-deductible.
Tax-Deductible Contributions: If you wish to make a tax-deductible donation, you may contribute to a qualified 501(c)(3) organizations affiliated with NOMA. One of these organizations is the NOMA Foundation which serves as philanthropic partners to NOMA, NOMA chapters, NOMA students, and the NOMA council. They help elevate programs that embrace the cultural, historical, and educational impact of minorities in design and development.
Donations to a 501(c)(3) entity are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.
Notification: Unless otherwise specified, donations made to NOMA will be allocated to general operations and direct overhead expenses. For donations made through a qualified 501(c)(3) organization, you may specify a particular program or initiative you wish to support.
Acknowledgment: We deeply appreciate your generosity and commitment to our mission. Your contributions play a crucial role in driving our efforts to promote diversity and excellence in the design and development community.
