Regular Members are packers, processors and purveyors. They range from small plants with only five employees to the largest firms in the U.S. Although SMA has retained its long-recognized regional name, its members are located all across the United States. Cost of membership is based on annual gross sales.
Section 1070(a) of the Revenue Act requires a disclosure provision for all fundraising solicitations made after January 31, 1988 by tax-exempt organizations, other than Section 501(c)(3) groups.
“Contributions or gifts to the Southwest Meat Association (SMA) are not deductible as charitable contributions for federal-income tax purposes. However, dues payments are deductible by members as an ordinary and necessary business expense.”
