Tin Can Sailors is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization. We are recognized by the Internal Revenue Service under Section 501(c)(3). Contributions to Tin Can Sailors may be tax deductible as allowed by law. Tin Can Sailors files annual reports (Form 990) with the Internal Revenue Service and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Attorney General’s Division of Public Charities.
Our audit report is published annually in our magazine. The most recent report is on our website. We encourage members and anyone else who may be interested to read it. We believe that non-profit, tax-exempt organizations should be very open about where the money comes from and where it goes to.
