For charities across the country, state charitable renewal due dates are coming up in November. (Deadlines often depend on the charities' fiscal year-ends, so this can vary.) If you're a charity in the thick of renewing your state registrations, make sure double or triple-check your work for some of these common mistakes: -revenue errors -incomplete renewals -missing state deadlines -spelling errors and typos -inconsistencies across state renewals -outdated information, like board members, addresses, etc. ...and more. These might seem obvious, but can be easy to forget! And if you're a law firm that helps charities renew their registrations, you're in the same boat – collecting information from your clients and communicating with them about deadlines is important, but can be challenging as you juggle multiple clients. Check out the blog post below for best ways to address (and hopefully, avoid) common mistakes. #legaltech #charityregistration #nonprofitlaw
