The funds that accumulate in that account are part of the Give Back Foundation. Each member has the ability to direct the funds from their account to any charity in good standing with the United States Internal Revenue Service. Together, all of the members' accounts are gathered under one Give Back Foundation account awaiting the direction of each member. The members can give their money away whenever they choose, either as a single donation or as part of a group of people coming together to support a cause. 100% of the money that is directed to a charity is sent to the charity. The Give Back Foundation doesn't charge you or the charity anything for the transaction. Any money that a member adds directly into their GiveBack account is immediately tax deductible to the full extent allowed. Any additional money that may be added, either by our corporate sponsors or other individuals, is not deductible by the member. At year end the Give Back Foundation will issue every member a consolidated giving statement that may be used as an IRS tax receipt.   MAKE YOUR VOICE COUNT!  Help   National Black Theatre  Join the discussion:       'Keep Soul Alive'!

NBT is an example for artists to aspire to own and produce art forms that encourage building theatre environments that instill dignity, respect and self love."   - Dr. Barbara Ann Teer. NBT Founder & Visionary NATIONAL BLACK THEATRE SHOWS 2011 Shaneequa Chronicles  Accept, 'Except'  Do Wop Love  Renaissance in the Belly of a Killer Whale  The National Black Theatre is funded in part by:  Council Member Inez E.
