State Compliance is a Maze
If you solicit donations outside your home state, you likely need to register. And every state is different.
Every state has different rules
Some require registration, some don't. Some exempt small nonprofits, some don't. Each has different deadlines, forms, and fees.
Requirements change when you expand
Adding a new state means researching new registration requirements, filing new forms, and tracking new deadlines.
Penalties vary by state
California, New York, and other states aggressively enforce registration. Fines can be $1,000+ per violation.
Registration triggers more requirements
Once registered in a state, you have annual renewals, financial reports, and sometimes audits to track.
State Requirements Vary Widely
Here's a sample of what different states require:
| State | Key Requirement |
|---|---|
| California | CT-1 registration required if soliciting donations |
| New York | CHAR410 required, plus annual CHAR500 reports |
| Florida | CH-1 registration plus annual renewal |
| Pennsylvania | BCO-10 registration if soliciting donations |
| Texas | No registration required (one of few states) |
| Illinois | CO-1 registration plus annual reports |
This is just a sample. StatusKeep tracks requirements for all 50 states plus DC.
