Tennessee Sues Foster Care Nonprofit Over Unpaid Fundraising Fine
PN Team • 4 days ago
Tennessee's attorney general has sued the Tennessee Foster Care Association in Davidson County Chancery Court to enforce a $15,000 fine for soliciting donations without a valid state registration. Nonprofits soliciting donations in Tennessee must file an annual registration statement with the Secretary of State, but the association's registration lapsed at the end of 2022. The lawsuit alleges the group kept seeking donations despite repeated warnings from the state. The organization did not contest the fine but has not paid it. The state is asking the court to enforce payment and grant additional relief to the Secretary of State if warranted.
