Charitable Solicitation Registration
​
Fundraising activities of nonprofit organizations are regulated by state law. Many states have charitable solicitation laws that require nonprofits, as well as any paid professional “fundraising counsel” or consultant hired to assist the nonprofit with fundraising activities, to register with the state before the nonprofit or professional solicits any donations.
Many organizations have registration and filing requirements in multiple states. We provide a comprehensive charitable solicitation registration solution for small to medium size nonprofit organizations that fundraise in more than one state. Our charitable solicitation compliance services include:
​
-
Electronic access to all forms on our secure client interface,
