Articles of Incorporation / Bylaws / 501(c)(3) Status

TCCHS Alumni Foundation, Inc. Meets IRS Requirements for Tax-Exempt Status …

Late last spring the directors of the TCCHS Alumni Association opted to form our own non-profit foundation, the TCCHS Alumni Foundation, Inc. (In the past we worked under a foundation previously formed by the Todd County Board of Education.) We are so very thankful for the assistance of Tyler Gill of ELPO Law as he walked us through the steps required to complete what was necessary for us to receive a 501(c)(3) status for our Todd County Central High School Alumni Foundation, Inc.. Our Articles of Incorporation were signed at the state level in June of 2023, and today, February 2, 2024, we received notification from the IRS that we have been approved as a tax-exempt public charity effective June 30, 2023.

We are so very thankful to those who assisted us with this endeavor — Tyler Gill and ELPO Law, Kentucky State Representative Jason Petrie, the TCCHS Alumni Board of Directors, and Earl Calhoun and his staff of Calhoun & Company, PLLC of Hopkinsville.

We are also so pleased with the support we have received in the past, and we know we will continue to be blessed with those who believe in our efforts to provide scholarships for the graduates of TCCHS. If you would like to make a donation, checks may be made to the TCCHS Alumni Foundation, P.O. Box 611, Elkton, KY 42220. If you would like to sponsor a scholarship, please also feel free to reach out to us via our email address — tcchsaa@gmail.com. Our website address is https://tcchs-alumni.org. If you have any questions, please reach out to us.

Below is the official letter from the IRS. Note the effective date is June 30, 2023.

Above you will notice the TCCHS Alumni Foundation, Inc. has received all of its paperwork from the IRS, and we are now classified as a non-profit public charity. We want to express our thanks to those who have assisted us with the completion of the articles, bylaws, the non-profit application process, and necessary IRS forms. Having that assistance has helped us tremendously as we have tackled becoming our own 501(c)(3) entity!
