Simplifying State
Registrations for the
nonprofit world
WHO WE ARE
Smart Charity is a woman-owned business whose sole purpose is to fulfill nonprofit registration requirements nationwide. Almost 10 years ago, we identified the need for reliable and efficient state compliance services for charities, with a level of personal attention that was difficult to find. This is the main reason why we created Smart Charity, so we could provide the quality of service that nonprofit organizations deserve.
Our satisfied clients range from Start-ups to billion-dollar charitable organizations and support a plethora of missions.
Since our inception, we have had a 100% retention rate with our clients. We take great pride in delivering excellence at every step.
The Brains Behind The Operation
President & CEO
Celine Gordon
Over 15 years of experience in leadership roles has taught Celine a very valuable skill: How to simplify complex processes into easily digestible solutions. Celine garnered experience in many industries and gained these skills by working in medium-sized and Fortune 500 companies, where she was instrumental in creating new divisions and brands and successfully implementing new processes to make work more efficient and economical.
Celine has always gone out of her way to work for Philanthropic causes, and after years in corporate service, she wanted to focus on making a difference. So she used her critical analysis and problem-solving skills to start Smart Charity.
She has also held several active positions with a myriad of industry associations as an Ideation Committee Chair and as a Director. Celine graduated from the University of Sophia Antipolis, France, with a Bachelor’s degree in Management and Marketing and a Master’s in Marketing from Johns Hopkins University, Maryland.
