Filings & identifiers

Formation

Filed

Tennessee nonprofit corporation

Charter filed with the Tennessee Secretary of State and effective 25 August 2026. Public benefit corporation, non-religious, with members. Perpetual duration. Status: active.

Control number: 002141112

Verification: Tennessee Secretary of State business search — search the control number above to confirm status independently.

Registered

Assumed name — “MTFA”

“MTFA” is a registered assumed name of Middle Tennessee Football Association, filed 25 August 2026 under the same control number. The registration runs five years from filing.

Both names refer to one legal entity. There is no separate MTFA corporation.

Assigned

Employer Identification Number

EIN assigned by the Internal Revenue Service, 25 August 2026 (Notice CP 575E).

EIN: 42-4711760

An EIN is an account number, not a tax status. It does not by itself make the association exempt or a gift deductible.

Pending

Form 1023 — 501(c)(3) recognition

Submitted to the Internal Revenue Service; awaiting the determination letter.

Until the letter issues, contributions are not deductible. If the IRS grants recognition, it is retroactive to the association's formation date. Verification will be available through the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search once the determination is on file.

Not yet

Charitable solicitation registration

Filed with the Tennessee Division of Charitable Solicitations, Fantasy Sports and Gaming before any solicitation, and renewed annually.

Standing deadlines

The association's own rules say that missing a filing is how a league quietly stops existing. These are the dates that matter, published so anyone can hold us to them.

1 Apr 2027

Tennessee annual report

Due annually to the Secretary of State. Failure to file, or failure to maintain a registered office and agent, subjects the association to administrative dissolution.
