Hoover Essential Lifeskills Opportunities, Inc. (“HELO,” “the Corporation,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a nonprofit corporation duly incorporated under the laws of the State of Tennessee and organized to pursue charitable and educational purposes.
These Legal Disclosures are provided to communicate material information concerning the Corporation's legal and organizational status, charitable activities, federal tax-exemption status, fundraising practices, and other matters relevant to donors, program participants, volunteers, community partners, and members of the public.
The information contained herein is intended to promote transparency and provide accurate representations of the Corporation's operations and regulatory status as of the effective date of this document. Nothing in these disclosures shall be construed as a representation that HELO possesses any governmental approval, registration, exemption, or designation that has not been formally granted or otherwise established under applicable law.
These Legal Disclosures supplement, and should be read in conjunction with, HELO's Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, Donation Policy, Cookie Settings, and other applicable notices published on its official website.
HELO reserves the right to amend, revise, or supplement these disclosures as necessary to reflect changes in its operations, legal status, or applicable federal and state requirements. Nothing herein is intended to waive or limit any right or obligation established by applicable law.
2. Organizational Identity and Legal Status
A. Legal Name and Corporate Organization
Hoover Essential Lifeskills Opportunities, Inc. (“HELO” or “the Corporation”) is a nonprofit public benefit corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Tennessee.
The Corporation was formed on January 5, 2026, pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Tennessee Nonprofit Corporation Act, Tennessee Code Annotated § 48-51-101 et seq.
HELO operates under its legal corporate name and may use the acronym “HELO” in connection with its programs, services, publications, communications, and other authorized organizational activities.
B. Organizational Purpose
HELO is organized to pursue charitable and educational purposes, including providing life-skills education, educational stability, and transitional support to foster youth and other young adults experiencing barriers to independent adulthood.
The Corporation's activities are intended to advance its stated mission and are subject to its governing documents and applicable federal and state laws.
C. Corporate Governance
HELO is governed by a Board of Directors responsible for the oversight of the Corporation's affairs in accordance with its Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, and applicable Tennessee law.
The Corporation's officers and authorized representatives carry out their respective responsibilities subject to the authority of the Board of Directors, applicable governing documents, and established organizational policies.
D. State Incorporation and Federal Tax Classification
HELO's incorporation as a Tennessee nonprofit corporation establishes its legal existence under state law but does not, by itself, constitute recognition of exemption from federal income taxation under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Federal tax-exempt recognition is a separate determination governed by applicable federal law and administered by the Internal Revenue Service.
The Corporation's federal tax-exemption application status is addressed separately in Section 3 of these Legal Disclosures.
E. Organizational Authority and Compliance
HELO conducts its organizational affairs subject to applicable federal, state, and local laws and the provisions of its governing documents.
The Corporation's authority to undertake particular activities, solicit charitable contributions, or claim exemptions or other legal privileges is subject to any applicable registration, qualification, approval, or statutory requirements.
Nothing in these Legal Disclosures shall be interpreted as representing that HELO holds a license, registration, exemption, or governmental authorization that has not been obtained or is not otherwise applicable under law.
3. Federal Tax-Exempt and IRS Form 1023
A. Federal Tax-Exemption Application
Hoover Essential Lifeskills Opportunities, Inc. (“HELO” or “the Corporation”) is organized as a Tennessee nonprofit public benefit corporation and intends to seek recognition of exemption from federal income taxation under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
HELO is currently preparing IRS Form 1023, Application for Recognition of Exemption Under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, together with the required supporting documentation.
As of the effective date of these Legal Disclosures, the Corporation has not submitted its application and has not received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) recognizing exemption under Section 501(c)(3).
B. Distinction Between State Incorporation and Federal Recognition
HELO's incorporation under the Tennessee Nonprofit Corporation Act establishes its existence as a nonprofit corporation under Tennessee law.
State nonprofit incorporation does not, by itself, establish exemption from federal income taxation, confer recognition under Section 501(c)(3), or establish the federal tax-deductibility of contributions.
Any recognition of federal tax-exempt status is subject to applicable federal law and the IRS determination process.
C. Pending Application and IRS Determination
Following submission of Form 1023, HELO's application will be subject to review by the IRS. The IRS may request additional information or supporting documentation before issuing a determination.
Submission of an application does not guarantee approval, and HELO makes no representation or warranty concerning the outcome or timing of the IRS review process.
Until the Corporation receives an applicable IRS determination, HELO will not represent that federal tax-exempt recognition has been granted.
D. Potential Effective Date of Recognition
Under applicable federal law and IRS procedures, an organization that timely files a qualifying application for recognition under Section 501(c)(3) may receive recognition effective as of its date of formation, provided it satisfies the applicable organizational, operational, and filing requirements.
Any retroactive effective date is subject to the IRS's determination and the applicable legal requirements.
HELO does not guarantee that recognition will be granted retroactively or that contributions made before recognition will qualify for a federal income tax deduction.
E. Public Communications and Status Updates
HELO intends to communicate its federal tax-exemption status accurately in its website materials, fundraising communications, donor acknowledgments, and other organizational publications.
The Corporation may revise its public disclosures following submission of Form 1023, receipt of an IRS determination, or other material changes affecting its federal tax classification.
Any future representation concerning recognition under Section 501(c)(3) will be based on the Corporation's actual status and applicable IRS documentation.
4. Charitable Contributions and Tax Deductibility
A. Acceptance of Charitable Contributions
Hoover Essential Lifeskills Opportunities, Inc. (“HELO” or “the Corporation”) may accept voluntary financial contributions, in-kind donations, sponsorships, and other forms of charitable support in furtherance of its organizational purposes, subject to applicable law and the Corporation's established policies.
The acceptance of a contribution does not constitute a representation that the contribution qualifies for a federal or state tax deduction.
B. Federal Tax-Deductibility Status
As of the effective date of these Legal Disclosures, HELO has not received recognition from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) as an organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Accordingly, HELO does not currently represent that contributions to the Corporation are deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes.
Tennessee nonprofit incorporation alone does not establish eligibility to receive tax-deductible charitable contributions.
C. Contributions Made Before IRS Recognition
Under applicable federal tax law, contributions made before an organization receives an IRS determination letter may qualify for charitable contribution deductions if the organization subsequently receives recognition under Section 501(c)(3) with an effective date covering the contribution.
Such treatment depends on the organization's ultimate qualification, the effective date of recognition, the nature of the contribution, and the donor's individual tax circumstances.
HELO does not guarantee that its application will be approved, that any recognition will be retroactive, or that any particular contribution will qualify for a tax deduction.
D. Donation Acknowledgments and Receipts
HELO may provide written acknowledgments or receipts documenting contributions received by the Corporation.
Such acknowledgments may identify the contribution date, amount or description, and other information appropriate to the type of contribution.
A donation acknowledgment or receipt does not, by itself, establish that a contribution is tax-deductible.
HELO will not assign a monetary value to donated property on behalf of a donor. Donors are responsible for determining and substantiating the value of noncash contributions in accordance with applicable tax requirements.
Where required, HELO will disclose whether goods or services were provided in exchange for a contribution.
E. Sponsorships and Contributions Involving Benefits
Certain sponsorships, event payments, ticket purchases, or other transactions may involve goods, services, advertising benefits, or other consideration provided in exchange for payment.
The federal tax treatment of such transactions may differ from that of an unrestricted charitable contribution.
Where applicable, HELO will identify relevant benefits or consideration in its donor communications and acknowledgments in accordance with applicable requirements.
F. Donor Responsibility and Professional Tax Advice
Donors are responsible for determining whether a contribution qualifies for a federal or state tax deduction and for maintaining documentation required by applicable law.
HELO does not provide individualized legal, accounting, or tax advice through its website, fundraising materials, or donation acknowledgments.
Donors are encouraged to consult a qualified tax professional regarding the deductibility of contributions, applicable limitations, and substantiation requirements.
G. Relationship to HELO's Donation Policy
Additional information regarding donation acceptance, restrictions, acknowledgments, and related organizational practices is provided in HELO's Donation Policy.
In the event of a question regarding a particular contribution, donors may contact HELO directly for information about the Corporation's donation procedures and current federal tax-exemption status.
5. Fundraising and Solicitation Disclosures
A. Charitable Fundraising Activities
Hoover Essential Lifeskills Opportunities, Inc. (“HELO” or “the Corporation”) may conduct charitable fundraising activities to support its organizational development, educational programs, operational needs, and charitable mission.
Such activities may include individual contributions, corporate sponsorships, community fundraising events, charitable campaigns, in-kind donations, and other lawful forms of financial or material support.
All fundraising activities shall be conducted subject to applicable federal, state, and local laws and the Corporation's governing documents and established policies.
B. Tennessee Charitable Solicitation Requirements
HELO is incorporated as a nonprofit public benefit corporation under the laws of the State of Tennessee.
The Corporation recognizes that charitable solicitation registration and exemption requirements are separate from nonprofit incorporation and federal tax-exempt recognition.
HELO is evaluating its obligations under the Tennessee Charitable Solicitations Act, including the availability of any applicable registration exemption based on its fundraising activities and qualifying contributions.
The Corporation does not represent that it holds a charitable solicitation registration or exemption unless such status has been established in accordance with applicable law.
C. Fundraising During Organizational Development
During its initial organizational development period, HELO has focused on establishing its governance structure, operational policies, educational curriculum, participant procedures, and program infrastructure.
The Corporation may receive voluntary charitable contributions during this period to support its lawful organizational and charitable activities.
HELO's receipt of contributions does not constitute a representation that its planned educational programs are already operational or that federal tax-exempt recognition has been granted.
D. Community Events and Fundraising Initiatives
HELO may organize or participate in community events, educational outreach activities, public awareness initiatives, and charitable fundraising opportunities.
Such activities may include community celebrations, informational booths, sponsorship opportunities, and voluntary donation campaigns.
Participation in a community event does not necessarily constitute a charitable solicitation. However, activities involving requests for charitable contributions may be subject to applicable registration, disclosure, or other legal requirements.
HELO will seek to satisfy applicable requirements before conducting fundraising activities for which registration or other authorization is required.
E. Donor Communications and Transparency
HELO intends to provide accurate information regarding its organizational identity, charitable purposes, fundraising activities, and current federal tax-exemption status.
Fundraising communications shall not knowingly misrepresent the Corporation's programs, financial needs, governmental approvals, or the tax treatment of contributions.
Donors may request additional information regarding HELO's mission, organizational activities, and donation procedures by contacting the Corporation.
F. Use and Administration of Contributions
Contributions received by HELO shall be administered in accordance with applicable law, the Corporation's governing documents, and established financial management policies.
Unrestricted contributions may be used to support the Corporation's lawful charitable and operational purposes.
Contributions accepted subject to donor-imposed restrictions shall be administered in accordance with the applicable restrictions and legal requirements.
Additional information regarding the acceptance, acknowledgment, and administration of contributions is provided in HELO's Donation Policy.
G. Changes in Fundraising Activities or Registration Requirements
HELO may expand its fundraising activities as its programs and organizational capacity develop.

Subject to program capacity and established eligibility requirements, HELO may also consider other young adults experiencing significant barriers to independence.
Eligibility and participation determinations shall be based on established program criteria, individual circumstances, available resources, and applicable legal requirements.
Submission of an inquiry, application, or referral does not guarantee acceptance into any HELO program.
C. Three-Phase LifeSkills Program Model
HELO is developing a structured Three-Phase LifeSkills Program Model intended to provide progressive educational and transitional support.
The program model consists of:
Phase I — Intake and Stabilization Assessment: Initial eligibility screening, assessment of participant needs, identification of potential barriers, and development of an individualized success plan.

The anticipated implementation date is a planning objective and does not constitute a guarantee that services will commence on a particular date.

Program enrollment, class schedules, educational activities, mentorship opportunities, and other services may be limited by available funding, qualified personnel, facilities, participant capacity, and community resources.
HELO reserves the right to establish reasonable eligibility criteria, enrollment procedures, participation requirements, and program schedules consistent with its charitable mission and applicable law.
The Corporation may modify, postpone, suspend, or discontinue a program or service when reasonably necessary due to operational, financial, safety, legal, or other legitimate considerations.
F. Referrals and Third-Party Services
HELO may receive participant referrals from foster care agencies, governmental entities, educational institutions, community organizations, churches, and other appropriate referral sources.
A referral does not establish an entitlement to enrollment or services.
HELO may also coordinate with independent service providers or community partners to facilitate access to educational, housing-related, employment, transportation, wellness, or other supportive resources.
Unless expressly stated otherwise in a written agreement, independent third-party providers remain responsible for the services they provide.
G. Limitations and Individual Outcomes
HELO's programs are intended to provide educational opportunities, practical guidance, and supportive resources. Participation does not guarantee employment, housing, educational completion, financial independence, or any other particular outcome.
HELO does not represent that its LifeSkills programs replace professional legal, medical, mental health, financial, or other licensed services.
Where appropriate, participants may be encouraged or referred to qualified professionals or independent service providers.
Nothing in these Legal Disclosures shall be construed as creating a contractual entitlement to admission, continued participation, financial assistance, or any specific program benefit, except to the extent otherwise established by an applicable written agreement or law.

A. Commitment to Non-Discrimination
Hoover Essential Lifeskills Opportunities, Inc. (“HELO” or “the Corporation”) is committed to maintaining a respectful, inclusive, and equitable environment in the administration of its charitable and educational activities.

HELO may receive financial contributions, in-kind donations, sponsorships, or other lawful support from individuals, businesses, foundations, and community organizations.
The acknowledgment or public recognition of a donor, sponsor, or supporting organization does not, by itself, constitute HELO's endorsement, certification, or recommendation of that party's products, services, business practices, or viewpoints.
Likewise, a contribution or sponsorship does not automatically grant the contributor authority over HELO's governance, program admission decisions, charitable activities, or organizational policies.
Any specific sponsorship rights or obligations shall be governed by the applicable written agreement, if one exists.

In connection with referrals, partnerships, or coordinated services, HELO may need to communicate with independent organizations regarding program-related matters.
Any disclosure of personal or confidential information shall be subject to applicable law, HELO's Privacy Policy, relevant confidentiality requirements, and any necessary authorizations or consents.
A referral or collaborative relationship does not automatically authorize the unrestricted disclosure of participant, donor, volunteer, or other personal information.
G. Changes to External Relationships and Resources
HELO may establish, modify, or discontinue third-party relationships and external resource listings as its organizational needs, available resources, and charitable activities evolve.
The inclusion of an organization or resource on HELO's website does not guarantee a continuing relationship, ongoing availability, or future participation in HELO's activities.

B. Program Information and Organizational Development
HELO's programs, services, educational materials, and operational procedures may evolve as the Corporation continues its organizational development and implementation activities.
