Each state government has a vested interest in protecting the public and ensuring that charitable organizations conduct their business and solicit donations for rightful purposes. With this main objective in mind and to avoid fraudulent activities, approximately 41 States require charities and their fundraisers to register and disclose financial and key information to the public. The registering process can be delicate, tedious, costly, time consuming and requires a thorough understanding of statutory regulations.

We understand that your compliance with the state regulations should be made easy on your charitable organization and your staff and we will act as your extended team to process your registrations on an annual basis.
