Tax and Finance: State-Specific Issues

Registering as a Charity

Organizations that wish to solicit donations regionally or nationally can visit http://www.multistatefiling.org/ for information about the Unified Registration Statement, an alternative to the respective registration forms produced by the cooperating states. At least 35 states and the District of Columbia accept the form. Another source of information is National Association of State Charities Officials http://www.nasconet.org/, which includes a contact list for all state agencies have oversight of charitable solicitations.

State Tax-Exempt Status

State laws vary widely and over time, so this subject is outside the scope of this book. To get you started, Nolo Press has a very nice Web page about starting a nonprofit organization, starting with state activities.
