Most charities that seek contributions nationally are required to register in 39 states and the District of Columbia that require registration before starting to solicit. What about for-profit fundraisers? Are they required to register and file their contracts and other documentation in some states? Since many states are increasing their enforcement efforts to ensure that charities and fundraisers are complying with initial and annual registration requirements, it's important that charities and fundraisers abide by these statutes—especially since noncompliance can result in the imposition of significant fines and penalties.

Whether you are a nonprofit executive, board member, lawyer, or accountant, knowing the intricacies of state charitable solicitation registration statutes is relevant to your work and the success of your nonprofit organizations.

Program materials will include an extensive review of the statutes and their provisions, plus a copy of the Uniform Registration Statement for multi-state filings. Materials will be forwarded prior to the webinar.

This webinar will be co-presented by Karl Emerson, Esq. of Montgomery, McCracken, and Don Kramer, Editor and Publisher of Nonprofit Issues. Karl is the former Director of the Bureau of Charitable Organizations of Pennsylvania.
