Nonprofit Status & Tax Information

---

Sovereign Society is a nonprofit corporation recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a tax-exempt public charity under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. 

Because we are recognized under Section 501(c)(3), contributions to Sovereign Society are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law under IRC Section 170. We are also qualified to receive tax-deductible bequests, devises, transfers, and gifts under IRC Sections 2055, 2106, and 2522. 

Every donation to Sovereign Society will be acknowledged with a receipt for your tax records. For any single contribution of $250 or more, IRS rules require us to provide you with a written acknowledgment before you can claim a tax deduction for that gift — and we will always send this to you promptly, regardless of gift size.

Your receipt will include:

• The name of our organization and our EIN.
• The date and amount of your contribution.
• A statement confirming whether any goods or services were provided in exchange for your donation (for a standard charitable gift, none are).

Please retain your receipt for your tax records. For donations under $250, your own bank or credit card statement is generally sufficient documentation, but we will still provide a receipt for every gift, of any amount.

Research and education are only part of the picture. Turning promising results into real, lasting change also means doing the unglamorous work of building relationships, securing funding, and making sure the data behind this model is solid enough to stand up to scrutiny. Your donation helps fund all of it.

• Advancing Payer Partnerships
  We support the work of developing relationships with insurance providers and payers to explore value-based care arrangements — models where treatment providers are rewarded for long-term patient outcomes and reduced total cost of care, rather than the number of services billed. Building these partnerships takes time, data, and persistence, and your support helps make that work possible.
• Pursuing Public and Settlement Funding
  Billions of dollars in opioid settlement funds and public health grants have been allocated across the country specifically to address the addiction crisis. We support the work of identifying, applying for, and advocating for these funding opportunities — helping direct public resources toward programs and research that reflect an evidence-based, medically-driven approach to treatment.
• On-the-Ground Data Verification
  Rigorous research doesn't happen from behind a desk. Your donation helps fund the on-site work of coordinating with partner facilities, verifying data collection processes, and ensuring the integrity of the outcomes being studied — the groundwork that makes independent, trustworthy validation possible in the first place.

• Sovereign Society does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and does not guarantee any specific outcome from research it funds.
• All donations are voluntary and, once made, are non-refundable except as required by law.
• Sovereign Society does not sell, rent, or share your personal or financial information with third parties, except as necessary to process your donation or as required by law.
• Statements made on this website regarding treatment models or outcomes reflect research findings and reported data from partner facilities, and are provided for educational purposes. Individual results may vary.
