Determined by IRS To Be Public Charity

The U. S. Department of Treasurery (IRS-EO) has determined that the Josephine & Winfred Brendle Scholarship Fund is a Section 501(c)(3)  tax exempt, public charity.  The determination was issued on December 31, 2014. Donors can therefore make deductible contributions under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 170.  The fund is also qualified to receive tax deductible bequests, devises, transfers or gifts under Section 2055, 2106, or 2522.  For those who have already contributed, it is important to note that the effective date of the exemption is October 25, 2014.

The bylaws of the corporation further define the fund's purpose in terms of financial aid to students.  The bylaw language is as follows: 

"The purpose of The Josephine & Winfred Brendle Scholarship Fund is to provide scholarships and/or scholastic no-interest loans to financially challenged students, particularly of Appalachia or Haiti.  Any repaid loans shall be returned to the fund in order to assist other students.  This purpose shall at all times be exclusively for charitable, religious, educational and scientific purposes, including, for such purposes, the making of distributions to organizations that qualify as exempt organizations under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, or the corresponding section of any future federal tax code."
