Sheriff's Memorial & Benevolent Society
of Travis County

PO Box 252, Del Valle, Texas 78617

The Sheriff’s Memorial and Benevolent Society of Travis County is a non-political non-governmental 501(c)(3) charitable corporation. It was created to accept donations from any outside source and in turn give those monies or property to employees, families and friends of Travis County and the Sheriff’s Office in the case of emergency or misfortunes of nature. The funds can also be used for memorials, scholarships, other educational programs and the support of any public safety project or program. Political activity is contrary to the purposes of this corporation.

The SMBS is made up of a Board of Directors who meets once a year, and as the need arises. The board oversees the accounts to be sure that the bylaws are followed. The SMBS has no employees but does have volunteers who help out with fund-raisers as needed. Since the board is not paid either, and there is no office overhead, the administrative costs have been minimal. Which means that 99.9% of all money donated is given to the person or project it was donated for.

Tragedy happens year round so the SMBS accepts donations year round. With the SMBS you can give and get a tax deduction at the same time. If you are interested in giving to the SMBS our address is:
