 FAQs

  • The Spot VTA is working to apply for 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status with the IRS. We hope to receive our determination letter in 2026.

    Donations made while our application is pending may be retroactively tax-deductible once our exempt status is approved by the IRS. Please consult with your tax advisor regarding the deductibility of your contribution.

    Every donation and dollar goes back into the collective to better our community through resources, programming, supplies, space improvements, and access for those with limited means.

  • We allocate funds to the greatest community impact first. In practice, we:

    • Cover essentials that keep programs running (safe space, core supplies, access & inclusion needs).

    • Source high-demand items for the community garage

    • Fund high-demand workshops and classes based on community interest, waitlists, and equity of access.

    • Reserve a small “rapid response” fund for timely opportunities or urgent repairs.

    • Honor restricted gifts (we’ll use them only as you specify).

    • Review spending quarterly with a volunteer committee and publish simple summaries on request.
