Let's make sure your nonprofit is legally compliant as it relates to soliciting.
A Charitable Solicitations Act is a state law that requires charities to register with the state before they can solicit donations from the public. These laws aim to ensure transparency and accountability in fundraising by regulating how organizations collect funds and protect the public from fraud. While the specifics vary by state, these acts often require registration, periodic financial reporting, and may impose additional requirements for professional fundraisers or charitable sales promotions.

- Delaware
- Idaho
- Indiana

- Montana
