How to Mail a Donation to the Team Kentucky Emergency Relief Fund

This guide covers exactly what to write on your check - payee, memo, and mailing address - so your donation to the Team Kentucky Emergency Relief Fund is processed without any hiccups.

Make your check payable to the Kentucky State Treasurer. Using that exact name matters - an incorrect payee can delay processing or create unnecessary back-and-forth.

In the memo line, write

Mail your check to: Public Protection Cabinet 500 Mero Street, 218 NC Frankfort, KY 40601

The minimum donation is $1. If you're giving a small amount or sending your first contribution, that's the floor.

Donations to the Team Kentucky Emergency Relief Fund are tax-deductible. You'll receive a receipt for tax purposes after donating. I recommend keeping a copy of the check (or snapping a photo) until your receipt arrives - handy if you need to match the donation to your bank statement later.

The fund is fully transparent and subject to open records and legislative oversight - a useful layer of accountability if you're deciding where to give.

If you donate through the website instead of mailing a check, you'll be asked for personal information used for payment processing and receipting. Standard stuff, but worth knowing before you start.
