Non-Profits Receive Unclaimed Property

In celebration of National Nonprofit Day, the Tennessee Department of Treasury, Unclaimed Property Division is working to successfully return more than $20,000 in missing money to various nonprofit organizations throughout the state.

Unclaimed property is money that has been turned over to the State by businesses and organizations unable to locate the rightful owners, such as refunds, uncashed paychecks, credit balances for overpayments, gift certificates, and abandoned bank accounts.

In honor of National Nonprofit Day, the following nonprofit organizations have received funds from the Unclaimed Property Division: Mercy Ministries of America: $546.07, Operation Stand Down: $788.62, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital: $17,212.01, and the Tennessee Kidney Foundation: $1,686.08.

Anyone can see if they are owed any missing money by searching their name at ClaimItTN.gov. The Tennessee Treasury maintains an online database containing all unclaimed property in Tennessee dating to the beginning of the program.
