Charitable Solicitation Registration, Nonprofit Registration

Don’t Let State Laws Stop You From Raising Funds for Your Nonprofit

If you want to make a difference in the world with your nonprofit, you need to comply with the state laws on charitable solicitation registration. This means that you have to register with the charity office in every state where you plan to ask for donations, whether online or offline. Each state has its own rules, forms, and deadlines, which can be confusing and time-consuming.

But don't worry, you don't have to do it alone. Cogency Global is here to help you with our professional, nonprofit experts who have years of experience and knowledge in this field. Our experts have written books to help nonprofits like yours navigate the complexities of state charity registration exemptions.
