The Issue Advocacy Fund (IAF) is generously supported by contributions from those who work within and are associated with the professional beauty industry. Your donation to the Fund helps ensure we retain the leadership and financial resources necessary to influence and participate in the public policy process for the passage of the FICA Tax Tip legislation. With your financial support, we are able to meaningfully engage.
The Issue Advocacy Fund was created to support the costs associated with the Small Business Tax Fairness and Compliance Simplification Act, HR45 | S45 in Congress. The Fund supports the interests of its members, including manufactures, distributors, salon spa owners, barbershop owners, wellness providers, and licensed beauty professionals.
The Issue Advocacy Fund accepts both personal and corporate contributions. The Professional Beauty Association (PBA) collects and administers these funds. Contributions to the Fund are not tax-deductible as charitable contributions or as business expenses because the contributions will be used for lobbying and other similar expenditures.
The PBEC is a coalition of industry employers who share common interests employment topics such as workforce development, occupational licensure, and worker classification.
• Paid apprenticeship pathways.
