Mission and programs · 2024

• THE AMERICAN BRIDGE TEACHERS ASSOCIATION WAS CREATED IN 1957. THE PURPOSE OF THE ORGANIZATION TODAY IS TO PROMOTE AND PROTECT THE STANDARDS OF BRIDGE TEACHING AND ITS PRACTITIONERS, ESTABLISH A CODE OF ETHICS AND SCHEDULE OF MINIMUM FEES IN THE PROFESSION, INSOFAR AS IS PRACTICABLE, AND TO MAKE KNOWN IN THE PUBLIC AND PROFESSIONAL INTEREST IN ANY INFORMATION IN THE BRIDGE TEACHING PROFESSION. THIS PURPOSE IS COMPLETED THROUGH VARIOUS OPTIONS. OUR MEMBERS ENJOY A QUARTERLY MAGAZINE WHICH IS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT ABTA MEMBERS WITH ARTICLES THAT FOCUS ON TOPICS RELEVANT TO BRIDGE TEACHERS FROM MARKETING AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT TO TEACHING STRATEGIES AND BOOK REVIEWS. NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES INCLUDE OUR ANNUAL CONVENTION WHERE YOU CAN LEARN NEW SKILLS, RECEIVE LESSON PLANS FROM TOP TEACHERS, HEAR EXPERT PLAYERS FIRST HAND ON THEIR THOUGHTS AND BRIDGE TREATMENTS; AND, RECEIVE ADVANCE NOTICE AND SPECIAL DISCOUNTS ON NEW BOOKS. EACH CONVENTION OFFERS SOMETHING NEW AND EXCITING FOR TEACHERS AS WELL AS PLANNED SOCIAL OUTINGS THAT ENHANCE NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES. AN ABTA MEMBERSHIP OFFERS THE ABILITY TO ENHANCE YOUR RESUME AND TO QUALIFY AND APPLY FOR THE ABTA MASTER TEACHER DESIGNATION, THE HIGHEST RECOGNITION IN THE NORTH AMERICAN BRIDGE TEACHING COMMUNITY. THE ABTA ALSO OFFERS VARIOUS OTHER AWARDS INCLUDING THE MASTER POINT PRESIDENT TEACHER OF THE YEAR AWARD, APPLE BASKET, AND BOOK AND SOFTWARE AWARDS.

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 9 November 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.
