The Big Sandy Mountaineer -

After years of paperwork, meetings with accountants, and reviewing the bylaws of the organization, the Big Sandy Rotary Club recently received official notice from the IRS that they have been awarded a 501(c)3 exemption status.

There are several advantages to the Big Sandy Rotary achieving 501(c)3 status. The biggest advantage is for donors to be able to make tax-deductible contributions. Having the 501(c)3 status also opens the doors to more grant opportunities as many public and federal grants are only available to IRS-recognized 501(c)3 organizations. We will also be eligible for discounted US Postal bulk mail rates and other services.

The Big Sandy Rotary Club is organized and operating under the exempt purposes of charitable and educational contributions.

The Big Sandy Rotary Club is in the planning stages of two major projects for the community at this time. One of them being a walking path around the town of Big Sandy and the other being the designing and building of a gazebo at the cemetery that would contain maps and a directory for the cemetery. If you have any questions about the 501(c)3 or the projects we are involved in just ask any Rotary member. We would like to thank the community of Big Sandy and the surrounding areas for their continued support of the Big Sandy Rotary Club.
