Contact information

Donor information and anonymity

If you donate funds to County Residents Against Annexation (CRAA), you are eligible for a tax deduction, because CRAA is a community-based 501(c)(3) public charity. As such, CRAA is legally required to report donations to the Internal Revenue Service. (This protects the tax-deductible status of financial contributions to CRAA.)

CRAA is not required to publicly disclose the names of individual donors who have contributed less than $5,000 in a single calendar year. If you are a donor who wishes to remain anonymous, please let us know. You can contact us via email at hello@craa.in or write to CRAA; P.O. Box 5774; Bloomington, IN 47407.

Please note: CRAA is required by law to publicly disclose donations in the amount of $5,000 or more given by individual donors in a single calendar year.
