Kentucky charitable solicitation registration
Charities that solicit in Kentucky register with the state and file a report each year, unless exempt. The filing is a copy of the Form 990, due when the return is filed with the IRS.
Exempt status is revoked after three consecutive years without a return. The latest return on file is FY2025.
Filing history
When each return reached the IRS
From IRS records of electronically filed returns. The IRS record date is the date in the IRS’s own record of each return. It is not a legal filing date, and extensions are not public.
