Meadowlark PAC is a federally recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, EIN 46-3790193. The organization has been tax-exempt since October 2014, and eligible donations are tax-deductible.
The PAC treasurer reviews the budget throughout the school year, and financial updates are part of regular PAC meetings. Major funding requests and other spending decisions are discussed through the PAC and recorded in meeting minutes.
