Charitable Trust #

Beginning this November each PTA must file the annual RRF-1 form with the CA Attorney General’s office, and a Charitable Trust # is required to do so. A CT# application must be filled out and the number received by November of 2012. The annual due date will be November 15th. PTAs that do not file will be fined AND must file RRF-1 forms for the past five years - something that wasn't required before 2011, so it will be a BIG hassle to go back and do so!

Guide for Initial Registration instructions for Form CT-1:

• Founding documents: you will need current unit bylaws, the whole document.
• IRS form 1023 – not necessary.
• IRS determination letter: The CAPTA created letters of determination for all its units. Letters were given out in the spring of 2011 by Peralta District PTA. You will need a new one if the name of your president has changed. Contact the State PTA at sales [at] capta [dot] org for an updated letter.
• $25 initial registration fee.

Sample Registration (CT1 "Red" Form)

If you already have a Charitable Trust number due to raffle activity in previous years, you do not need to fill out another application. HOWEVER, if you already have a CT number, you need to have been filling out RRF-1 forms during the previous years. 

Please reach out to council treasurer Kim Mathis <oemexp [at] att [dot] net> if you need assistance.
