Nonprofit Status

We are very excited that the IRS approved The Fatted Calf for tax-exempt status as a 501(c)(3) exempt organization on October 1, 2010.  This means that the IRS recognizes our nonprofit mission and therefore we are not required to pay any taxes, including sales tax.  It also means that you can make a tax-deductable contribution to our mission of providing hope and career education for the fatherless and less fortunate.  At this point, the only way to make a donation is by sending a check or money order to The Fatted Calf, 103B 22nd Avenue, Brookings, SD 57006.  However, we are also exploring other methods of accepting donations, such as being able to donate online using a credit card or PayPal, or by becoming a giving partner and setting up an automatic monthly withdrawal from your bank account or credit card.

We are thankful that this process is complete after many months, numerous forms, and several rounds of questions from the IRS.  We are especially grateful to Brookings CPA and The Fatted Calf board member Julie Underwood for all of her hard work and expertise towards this goal.  Thank you to everyone for your encouragement, support, and prayers.  We look forward to working together to glorify God by being used by Him to impact lives for the better.
