How the Society is funded
The Society is supported by three sources: annual member dues, contributions from Patron members above and beyond dues, and discretionary contributions from supporters who believe in the Society's mission. Member dues fund operating costs, programming, and a small staff. Patron and supporter contributions fund growth, scholarship memberships, and special programming including the annual summit.
Make a Contribution
To make a contribution beyond standard membership dues, please contact the Society at info@cyplasvegas.com. A member of the Society's team will follow up to discuss the contribution and confirm the most appropriate vehicle.
Tax Status
Conservative Young Professionals is currently organized as a Nevada nonprofit corporation. The Society is exploring 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) status for different elements of its programming. Contributions to the Society are not currently tax-deductible. Updates on the Society's tax status will be communicated to members and supporters as our nonprofit application advances.
Underwrite a Scholarship Membership
Patron members and Society supporters may underwrite scholarship memberships for promising young professionals for whom standard dues would be a barrier. Scholarship memberships are awarded by the Membership Committee on application. To underwrite scholarship memberships, contact the Society with "Scholarship" in the subject line.
The Best Way to Support
For most prospective supporters, the most meaningful way to back the Society is by becoming a member, attending events, contributing to the conversation, and inviting other serious professionals to join. The Society is built by its members, not by its donors. If you fit the membership criteria, apply for membership.
