Transparency

FIREFIGHTER SUPPORT COUNCIL PAC TRANSPARENCY STATEMENT

The Firefighter Support Council PAC is an initiative of the VF2024 PAC, a non-party political organization (not a charity) established and regulated under section 527 of the federal tax code. Our hope is to raise awareness about Firefighters legislation and to encourage people to take action by electing a Candidate that will help support these issues. We hope to accomplish this goal through a combination of efforts, including but not limited to, telephone outreach, direct mail, and digital marketing campaigns. 

Our calling campaign aims to inform and empower individuals to make their voices heard and help elect leaders who advocate for policy changes that benefit the firefighting community. We use professionals to help us to accomplish these goals. Some paid contractors may use sub-contractors to help consolidate the costs and administrative labor of achieving these goals. 

We want to be transparent about our financial practices and the allocation of funds within our organization. When you make a contribution, we want you to know that a minimum of 90 cents of every dollar will be dedicated to covering our fundraising costs and outreach efforts. These costs may include essential expenses such as telephone outreach costs, printed material, postage, mail processing services, courier service, accounting services, and other operational necessities used to ensure a successful campaign. 

By ensuring that a significant portion of each contribution is allocated to fundraising, we can reach a wider audience, raise awareness about our cause, and generate the necessary resources to support our mission. While we strive to keep these costs as low as possible, it is important to acknowledge that fundraising activities play a crucial role in sustaining our organization and allowing us to make a lasting impact. 

Please bear in mind that as an IRS 527 Political Organization we advocate for the needs of Firefighters, by informing voters of these needs and asking them to take action. This is our only purpose, we do not give money or financial support to any person or Firefighters organization as we are not a charity. We also do not in any way give money or directly coordinate with any candidates or elected officials as that could be a violation of laws that limit or prohibit contributions by an incorporated entity. Any contribution to our organization is not tax-deductible for federal or state income tax purposes. 

Should you ever wish to request a refund, we kindly ask you to provide us with a copy of a canceled check, or proof of credit card charge, and we will promptly process your refund. Our commitment to you is to handle such requests immediately, ensuring that you have complete confidence and control over your contribution. 

Thank you again for your support, together we can make a difference!!
