Membership

Pittsburgh Cars ‘N’ Coffee is a 501(c)(7) non-profit social club. Since our inception, we have donated well over one hundred thousand dollars to Pittsburgh-area charities. Many participants have asked how they can help support the club and also become an official member of our community. One way to support the club would be to support our sponsors and let them know that your business was brought to them through Pittsburgh Cars ‘N’ Coffee. The following subscription model offers a more direct way to support the club.

Our club has many operational expenses which have historically been covered by our amazing sponsors. Every year, our expenses increase and we would love to have the option to plan more special events such as track days while being able to sustain the financial burden that entails.

Our events will continue to be free to attend and club membership will be completely voluntary. The level of membership is not meant to reflect on – or be required by – what type of car you drive but is simply a way to designate your contribution. If you are willing to give back, please choose an amount that suits you and not one that would cause financial distress.

We will automatically donate 25% of all membership fees to GiveWell’s Top Charities Fund. This charity collects zero fees and donates your money to charities that are proven to have the maximum positive impact per dollar on improving lives and life-saving efforts in the world; as little as $3,000 is enough to save a life. Our events usually support local charities and this gives the club an opportunity to make a deeper impact on a global scale.

We will have at least one annual event for only contributing members and have plans to increase the number of special events and perks for paid members. A list of contributing members will be posted at our meets. A special membership decal will also be available for pickup at the merchandise table at our events. Anonymous donations and private membership are also accepted.
