Common Questions
Is Stan Greer Gives Back a Section 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization? - No. Although the events and drives Stan Greer Gives Back promotes give back to the community, most do not fall under the special conditions of Section 501(c)(3) nonprofit criteria to received double deduction status, and therefore although Stan Greer Gives Back is a not for profit organization, the organization doesn’t have a Section 501(c)(3) status.
When is the First Responders Appreciation Day (FRAD) held each year? – Usually in mid September.
A very special thanks to the sponsors of Stan Greer Gives Back events
