Entity Status and Historical Governance

The Purple Wellness Trust Inc. (“the Org”) is a Kansas-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization incorporated in December 2023. Following a prolonged medical leave by the founder due to Long COVID, non-profit programmatic activity was dormant throughout 2024 and 2025, during which time clinical services were maintained under “Purple Wellness Counseling” as a sole proprietorship.

On March 30, 2026, the Org formally assumed operation of “Purple Wellness Counseling”. In compliance with federal and state statutory transparency mandates, the Org’s IRS determination letter, annual Form 990 filings, and related corporate governance filings are available for public inspection below.

Corporate Dissolution and Restructuring

Between 2025 and 2026, material changes in Kansas administrative oversight and regulatory compliance postures have significantly impacted access to affirming, evidence-based healthcare for LGBTQ+ populations and the providers who serve them (see: Polaski, 2025; Smith & Chilson, 2026; Irwin, 2026; Kaminski, 2026; Cooper, 2026). Concurrently, federal administrative actions and statutory shifts under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 (Public Law 119-21, H.R. 1) altered the regulatory and exempt-organization context for entities serving LGBTQIA+ communities (see: National Council of Nonprofits, 2026; Ruhnke, 2025).

Following strategic legal and clinical review, the Board of Directors concluded that maintaining a Kansas-domiciled 501(c)(3) structure creates undue operational risk to the continuity and defense of evidence-based care for Trans, genderqueer, and neurodivergent service populations. To preserve practice autonomy and mitigate external regulatory interference, the Board voted to formally dissolve The Purple Wellness Trust Inc., effective by the close of the 2026 calendar year.

Transition of Clinical Operations

Effective November 1, 2026, all active clinical operations, practice infrastructure, and client care officially transitioned from The Purple Wellness Trust Inc. to The New Purple Wellness Counseling PLLC, an Illinois professional limited liability company.

• Clinical Continuity: All patient care continues without interruption under the existing clinical team. Telehealth infrastructure, client portal links, session rates, and third-party billing/insurance administration (via Headway) remain active and unchanged.

• Records & Governance: Clinical documentation, protected health information (PHI), and active records have been transitioned in accordance with state retention requirements and federal HIPAA privacy standards.
