Are you worried your nonprofit isn't in compliance with Federal Fundraising Regulations?
Shantelle Brumfield
Are you a nonprofit leader struggling to reach your annual funding goals each year? If so, let's connect.
As a nonprofit leader, you're focused on making a difference—but are you also making sure your organization complies with federal fundraising regulations? Failing to do so will jeopardize your nonprofit status, which hinders your ability to secure the funds needed to carry out your mission. This week we are focusing on providing the information you need to make sure your organization complies with current charitable fundraising regulations. Today's discussion is focused on Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and Department of Justice (DOJ) Fundraising.
As of May 2024, 38 states and Washington, DC, require charitable nonprofits to register for solicitation and renewal, unless they meet specific exemptions. While exemptions vary by state, they typically include religious organizations, hospitals, and educational institutions.
Why Charitable Solicitation Registration Matters
Charitable solicitation registration ensures that your nonprofit and any fundraisers working on your behalf are legally authorized to raise funds in each state where you plan to solicit donations. This requirement applies whether you’re fundraising through donation apps, social media, crowdfunding platforms, texting, phone calls, mail campaigns, or even in-person requests.
These regulations often catch nonprofits off guard, potentially leading to fines, penalties, or even the loss of tax-exempt status. That's why our team at the S2B Brand Hospital is dedicated to helping you understand and meet these legal requirements.
