The Host Committee is a Wisconsin non-profit corporation approved by the Internal
Revenue Service as tax exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Host
Committee’s charitable purpose is to lessen the burdens of the city of Milwaukee (“City”)
related to the City’s hosting of the 2024 Republican National Convention, and in so doing, to
foster the well-being of the community by promoting economic and business development in the
City, the County of Milwaukee, Wisconsin and in the broader Milwaukee-metropolitan area. As
a non-profit public charity, the Host Committee cannot undertake or fund activities of any nature
that would cause the Host Committee to violate the prohibition on political activity found in 26
U.S.C § 501(c)(3). By responding to this request for proposal, you agree that any activities you
undertake on behalf of the Host Committee will comply with this requirement.
Please feel free to contact Alison Prange or Elise Dickens at the above listed email
addresses with any questions.
