About Our Organization

Your gift goes to work.
Not overhead.

Blairs Valley Conservation Group is a registered 501(c)(3) public charity recognized by the Internal Revenue Service. We were granted federal tax-exempt status effective February 24, 2024 — meaning every contribution you make is fully deductible from your federal income taxes.

We believe donors deserve complete transparency. That's why we publish our IRS determination letter openly on this page. You can read it, download it, and verify our status independently at any time on the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search tool.
