Givebacks Expands Platform to Help National Nonprofits

Givebacks, a technology platform supporting thousands of parent-teacher associations (PTAs), PTOs, and other volunteer-led organizations, has expanded its services to help national nonprofits navigate new IRS group exemption requirements. The new IRS procedures, detailed in Rev. Proc. 2026-8, increase oversight and reporting responsibilities for central organizations that maintain a group tax exemption covering their local chapters or affiliates.

Will Bowen, CEO of Givebacks, explained that the platform is extending its proven technology to streamline how central organizations manage subordinate records, collect necessary information, provide compliance education, identify issues that require follow-up, and maintain documentation and reporting across their networks.

The expansion of Givebacks' platform aims to support national nonprofits in meeting the new demands of IRS group exemption requirements. Beyond group exemption management, the platform can also assist local organizations with payments, fundraising, membership, events, communications, and financial reporting. When chapters choose to use these additional services, their participation may help offset the central organization’s cost of group exemption management.

Givebacks, known for its all-in-one payments solution for K-12 and nonprofit organizations, has been trusted by school districts, schools, and nonprofits since its inception. The company’s technology connects payments and processes across district offices, schools, organizations, and families in one unified platform, simplifying payments, reducing manual work, and providing greater visibility and reporting.

The expansion of Givebacks’ platform to support national nonprofits marks a significant step in helping these organizations navigate the new IRS requirements. By leveraging Givebacks’ technology, central organizations can ensure compliance and streamline their operations, ultimately benefiting the local chapters or affiliates they support.
