About Us

The Maryland Tax Education Foundation (MTEF) is a Maryland corporation established in 1998 to help the public understand tax and expenditure policies of State and local government in Maryland. Sustained operations of the foundation will commence with completion of appointments to the Board of Directors and receipt of sufficient donations to finance research, analysis, and dissemination of information on taxation and spending. Contributions to MTEF are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law for 501(c)(3) organizations.

MTEF's charter provides that:
The purposes of the Corporation are exclusively charitable, educational and nonprofit as defined under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (or any corresponding provisions of any future United States Internal Revenue Laws or Regulations thereunder, hereinafter collectively referred to as the Internal Revenue Code) as follows:

To be an institution of learning that conducts, sponsors and contributes to education and research on facts, methods and principles of taxation and government spending, all of which shall be done within the meaning of Section 502(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and to undertake other projects, programs and activities not inconsistent with Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state law, including the making of distributions to organizations that qualify as exempt organizations under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, as the need to do so presents itself in the opinion of the Board of Directors.

We invite you to make a tax-deductible contribution to this important cause. Contributions are used for researching Marylnd tax issues, sponsoring eduational progams, and distributing tax education information. Copies of our IRS approval letter and annual report are available upon request.
