Questions
Who can join?
Anyone who loves Pakistani culture: Pakistani Americans, friends, neighbors, and families of every background.
Is my membership tax-deductible?
House of Pakistan is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. The deductible portion of your dues is your payment minus the value of any benefits you receive, and your receipt will say how much that is. The newsletter and recognition don't reduce it. Event discounts and reserved seats do.
I was a PAASAND member. Do I need to rejoin?
PAASAND is now House of Pakistan, and we'd love to have you back. BOARD: grandfathering policy W-01
What's the difference between a member and a donor?
Members join the community and get benefits for a year. Donations are gifts with no benefits attached, so they're fully tax-deductible. Many people do both!
Can my business join?
