As of the end of August the Internal Revenue Service officially recognized the Aitaneet Foundation as a public charitable foundation. Any contributions to the Aitaneet Foundation are fully tax deductible within the limits of federal law. The Aitaneet Brotherhood Association will continue to function as a social organization and will sponsor several social activities, publish a quarterly newsletter and maintain and publish the A.B.A. directory. Dues and contributions to the A.B.A. are NOT tax deductible.

However, contributions made to the Aitaneet Foundation at
wakes, or to the Scholarship Fund or General Fund are all tax deductible. The Foundation will also sponsor fund raising activities to support its charitable endeavors. Therefore, we will be collecting for the Foundation at wakes so your contributions will be deductible and we will pay for the "Mercy Dinners" from that fund.



Specific information concerning the goals and activities of the Aitaneet Foundation will be sent to you in the near future. In the meantime, we encourage you to consider making a
charitable contribution or establishing a memorial scholarship with the Aitaneet Foundation.
