Charitable Solicitations Registration FAQs
Is my organization required to register?
Most likely, yes. Most states require nonprofits to register prior to soliciting contributions or conducting any fundraising activity. This state-by-state regulation means that your organization has to register in every state it solicits donations in, not just its home state. However, some organizations may be exempt depending on their location, purpose, or other factors.
What counts as solicitation?
Virtually all forms of revenue generation will trigger a registration requirement, including:
- person-to-person solicitation
- fundraising events
- product sales, and
- participation fees
The official definition of solicitation is detailed in the Charitable Solicitations Model Act, which serves as a guideline for state-by-state donation regulation.
