Donate and Become a COLA Partner

COLA has revised its “membership/donor” structure to better reflect its operation. COLA no longer relies on a separate foundation to request donations on COLA’s behalf. COLA now conducts its own fundraising as an independent 501(c)(3) (Federal Tax ID number 39-1829932, IRS determination letter), and there’s no longer any need to distinguish “members” from “donors.”

If you provide financial assistance to COLA, you will be considered a COLA “partner.” COLA partners will have all the tax-deductible tax benefits provided to donors of 501(c)(3) organizations. COLA partners also have all the benefits provided to past members such as the right to vote at the annual meeting.

Partnership Levels

Sustaining Partner - $100 to $999

Protecting Partner - $1,000 to $4,999

Defending Partner - $5,000 to $9,999

Guardian of the Legacy - $10,000 or more
