The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association has several affiliated entities that work together to protect Proposition 13 and all California taxpayers. In compliance with federal and state law, each affiliated entity has a separate purpose and files separate financial reports. Here’s a guide to all the components of HJTA, and the many ways you can support our efforts on your behalf.
The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association is a nonprofit organization, a 501(c)(4). This is the main HJTA entity. Donations to the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association support all the operations of the organization, including lobbying, member services, outreach, communications, grassroots operations, and our Taxing Times newsletter.
The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Foundation enables legal and educational work on behalf of taxpayers. HJTF is a 501(c)(3) organization fully qualifying as a charitable organization under both California and federal law. HJTF’s tax I.D. Number is 52-1155794. Donations to the Foundation may be tax-deductible; please consult your tax preparer.
Protect Prop. 13, A Project of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association is a campaign committee registered with the California Secretary of State. Donations to the Protect Prop. 13 committee support campaigns for ballot measures that protect taxpayers, as well as campaigns against ballot measures that threaten Proposition 13. Only a campaign committee can pay for campaign advertising and other related expenses; absolutely no funds from the Association or Foundation may be used in campaigns.
No New Taxes, A Project of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association is another campaign committee registered with the California Secretary of State. Donations to the No New Taxes committee support campaigns against tax increases.
The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association State Political Action Committee is also registered with the California Secretary of State. HJTA-PAC supports candidates for office who support Proposition 13 and the right to vote on taxes.
The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association Heritage Society welcomes those members interested in planned giving to HJTA or HJTF through wills, trusts or gifts. Your contributions help to build an endowment that protects Proposition 13 and extends your legacy far into the future. For more information and to learn about potential tax benefits, please contact HJTA General Counsel Craig Mordoh. He can be reached at 213-384-9656 or by Craig@hjta.org.
