Secular Overeaters and Friends is fiscally sponsored by a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Atheists United (EIN #95-3843831). Your contributions fund our work at Secular Overeaters and Friends, and donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowable by US law.

NOTE: Your donations will appear on statements as received by our fiscal sponsor, Atheists United. But rest assured, all contributions are funneled into a dedicated account for Secular Overeaters!

Ways to Donate

In the United States

US residents can make a donation by: credit or debit card, PayPal, Zelle, or paper check. SO considers all contributions anonymous, but tax receipts are available depending on how you give:

• Payment Cards or PayPal: This link allows you to donate with a credit or debit card or your PayPal account. This method also allows monthly recurring payments and automatically generates an instant tax receipt sent from our fiscal sponsor, Atheists United Los Angeles (check your inbox/spam folder).
• Zelle (SO.Tradition7@gmail.com): Check with your bank to see if you are set up to send money using Zelle (and consider making a small recurring monthly donation!). If so, use our email address for the recipient: SO.Tradition7@gmail.com. This option is only available in the USA. Note: because Zelle does not share donor contact information, we cannot provide tax receipts for Zelle contributions.
• Paper Checks: Make checks payable to Atheists United with “Secular Overeaters” on the memo line. Email secularovereaters@gmail.com for the mailing address, and include your email with the check if you would like a tax receipt.

Outside the United States

If you are outside of the US, you can make a donation through PayPal.

• PayPal: Use this link to donate with your PayPal account. Choose the yellow PayPal link, as Debit or Credit Card donations will not go through. (Our testing showed these donations appeared to work, but they never arrived and did not show up on bank statements.) With PayPal, you will see that your donation went to Atheists United Los Angeles, but it actually goes into our SO-dedicated account!

Treasurer’s Report

We post a quarterly financial report on approximately 1/1, 4/1, 7/1, and 10/1. The funds are overseen by two co-treasurers. Our prudent reserve is one year’s expenses, and as we fund new projects, we also increase the prudent reserve. (The current 2026 prudent reserve is $3,000 and is not reflected in the finances below, as this kitty is meant to be used in a dire emergency only!) You can view past reports here.
