Question: Do I Have to Register to Raise Funds Online?
There are new rules governing online fundraising, such as registering with your state.
Answer: Yes, a recent decision by the National Association of Attorneys General requires nonprofits to register their online fundraising. Check with your state, county and city to see what their fundraising registration requirements are.
Neglecting to file the proper paperwork can result in fines or even revocation of your rights to raise funds.
The National Association of State Charity Officials (NASCO) provides a list of who to contact in each state.
