California reporting rules require political committees to collect each contributor's name, address, occupation and employer, so the form asks for them. Contributions to SBWPC are not tax deductible.

Every dollar stays local
SBWPC has backed feminist candidates in Santa Barbara County since 1987.
Our members interview candidates, vote on endorsements and then go to work for the people they endorse. Your gift turns that work into mailers, forums, voter guides and real support on the ground.
It also funds the long game: training and encouraging more women to run for school boards, city councils and county seats.
Where your gift goes
Voter education
Election information, voting resources and candidate forums for the whole community
Feminist advocacy
Public-policy work on equality, reproductive freedom and economic justice
Leadership development
Workshops and mentoring that help women run for office and lead in civic life
Common questions
Is my gift tax deductible?
No. SBWPC is a political committee, so contributions are not deductible as charitable gifts.
Why does the form ask for my occupation and employer?
California law requires political committees to report this information for contributors. We use it only for required reporting.
Can I give in someone's honor or memory?
Yes. The donation form has a spot to name the person you want to honor or remember.
Is giving the same as becoming a member?
Not quite. Membership is a separate yearly commitment that lets you vote on endorsements and join committees. You can do both.
I have a question about my donation
Email info@sbwpc.org and a board member will get back to you.
Want a bigger role?
Members vote on endorsements, join committees and help shape what SBWPC does next.
