People Voice Ground Movement

Organization Identity & Mission

People Voice Ground Movement ("PVGM") is a nonprofit corporation organized under the laws of the State of Florida and designated to operate as a 501(c)(4) social welfare organization under the Internal Revenue Code. Our mission is to promote social welfare, public participation, civic engagement, and community empowerment throughout targeted communities in Florida and beyond. As a 501(c)(4) entity, PVGM primarily furthers the common good and general welfare of our communities through advocacy, education, and public outreach consistent with social welfare purposes.

Federal Tax-Exempt Status—Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(4)

Under IRC Section 501(c)(4), PVGM qualifies as a social welfare organization. To maintain this status:

• We are nonprofit and operated primarily to promote social welfare—meaning we engage in activities that benefit the general public or community at large.
• Our earnings do not inure to private individuals or shareholders, and no part of our net income benefits private persons.
• We may engage in lobbying or public policy advocacy so long as those activities further our exempt purpose and are not our organization's primary activity.
• While some political activities are permissible, they cannot constitute our primary function.

Florida State Compliance & Reporting

PVGM complies with applicable Florida statutes governing solicitation and nonprofit transparency. In accordance with Florida Statutes Section 106.0701, certain individuals associated with PVGM who solicit contributions must file disclosure statements with the state and ensure public transparency of contributions and expenditures on our website within required timelines.

PVGM also adheres to Florida's charitable solicitation laws as outlined in Chapter 496, which include initial registration, annual renewal, financial disclosures, and officer certifications as required for organizations soliciting funds in the state.

We are committed to ethical fundraising and will not knowingly accept contributions from prohibited sources in line with recent Florida nonprofit fundraising regulations.
