The Stretch Glass Society was recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a charitable organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code in 2016. Contributions to the Stretch Glass Society may be tax deductible as charitable contributions and will provide funding for the Society to pursue our mission to encourage and support interest in and learning and enlightenment of one of America’s heritages, iridescent stretch glass, which was produced by nine American glass companies ca. 1912-1932 and by one American glass company ca. 1980-2011. We are dedicated to preserving this beautiful glassware and the history of its manufacture as well as sharing current developments about stretch glass with collectors, museums, auctioneers, and all who share our enthusiasm for stretch glass. We provide a forum to promote friendship among those interested in stretch glass and to give each an opportunity to participate in new discoveries and experiences concerning iridescent stretch glass. We provide opportunities to learn the history of stretch glass and to stay abreast of recent discoveries and developments through our quarterly newsletter, The Quarterly, in-person events and virtual discussions. We offer collectors and others interested in stretch glass an opportunity to share points of interest, to provide and benefit from on-going educational programs and materials and to enjoy the fun and fellowship of collecting iridescent stretch glass. Charitable contributions supplement funds raised from operations and memberships.
