Yes, we are a 501(c)(6) organization and not a 501(c)(3) organization. Both are exempt from federal income tax, and sometimes state and local tax.
Simply put, unlike a 501(c)(3), donors to the 501(c)(6) cannot take a charitable deduction on their tax returns for their donations. They may be able to write off their donations as a business-related expense instead. Please contact a tax professional for further details.

The Philippine Consular Outreach program is a public service mission of the Philippine-American Chamber of Commerce of Texas (PACC-TX).
This public service saves each applicant the high cost of traveling to Los Angeles, CA. to renew passports, apply for dual citizenship and other consular services being offered during the outreach.
All workers are non-paid volunteers who sacrifice their time and resources to help facilitate this process. The chamber, with the assistance from the business expo vendors, and donors pays for the costs of the venue and other operating expenses.
The Philippine-American Chamber of Commerce of Texas has been voted “Most Outstanding Fil-Am Organization in the U.S. for Community Service, Trade Promotion and Aid to the Philippines.”
The Philippine-American Chamber of Commerce of Texas coordinates with the Philippine Consulate General of Los Angeles for the yearly schedule. We have been hosting the consulate to provide consular services for over 10 years. To apply, you will need to visit the Philippine Consulate General of Los Angeles’ website for consulate services as well as outreach dates.
