Treasury Says Non-Profits Should Check Unclaimed Database

The Pennsylvania Treasury is urging nonprofit organizations, including volunteer fire companies, service organizations, libraries and more, to check the state’s unclaimed property database.

Treasury is currently safeguarding $4.5 billion of unclaimed property, and many nonprofits have money available to claim. Unclaimed property includes things like dormant bank accounts, uncashed checks, rebates, insurance payments and more – and every dollar returned to a nonprofit can help fulfill its core mission. For example, earlier this year, Treasury returned more than $160,000 to the United Way of Pennsylvania.
