EMAIL USOur Primary Purpose is to serve Podcast Service Professionals as a nonprofit Trade Organization.
There is no industry organization whose primary purpose is to serve Podcast Service Professionals.The PPA has filed for 501(c)(6) status, a key step in establishing itself as a nonprofit trade organization.
This designation is vital as it allows the association to advocate effectively for its members, promote industry standards, and provide educational opportunities without the influence of commercial interests. The 501(c)(6) status also empowers the PPA to lobby for policies that benefit the podcast service industry, ensuring that members have a strong voice in legislative matters.
