State charitable registration and periodic filings enhance fiscal transparency. They provide useful information to the public, funders, the State Attorney General to assist with regulatory and law enforcement efforts, and to other interested persons. Currently, over 40 states require nonprofit organizations to register prior to fundraising. Fundraising regulations are complex and vary from state to state.  In this podcast, the speakers will address why fundraising regulations are in place, the general fundraising registration and annual filing process, what steps a nonprofit organization should take to be in compliance, and so much more.
