Reviews
Saint Francis University, Associate Vice President for Advancement
Rob Young
“One of the things we appreciated most was how streamlined Ironwood Registrations made the onboarding process. In our case, Ironwood primarily requested standard institutional documentation (990s, articles of incorporation, financial information, etc.), and they handled the preparation and filing work from there. The process has required relatively little administrative burden on our end, which was important to us given our limited internal capacity.”

FAQ
Common Questions About Charitable Solicitation Registration
Frequently asked questions about nonprofit fundraising registration and multi-state charitable solicitation compliance.
Do all nonprofits need to register in every state where they receive donations?
Most states require nonprofit organizations to register before soliciting donations from residents of that state. Solicitation can include online fundraising, email appeals, direct mail, events, or other requests for charitable contributions.
However, requirements vary by state, and some states provide exemptions for certain types of organizations or fundraising activities. Nonprofits fundraising across multiple states often need to maintain registrations in several jurisdictions.
What happens if a nonprofit fundraises without registering?
A nonprofit may face fines, penalties, orders to stop fundraising, and other legal consequences. It may also risk reputational damage. Requirements and penalties vary by state.
How many states do most national nonprofits register in?
There is no fixed number. National nonprofits often register in multiple states, depending on where and how they solicit donations. Some may need to register in most states, while others qualify for exemptions.
How complicated is multi-state compliance?
It can be complex because each state has its own requirements, deadlines, fees, and renewal procedures. Nonprofits may need to track registrations, file annual renewals, and maintain accurate financial records across multiple jurisdictions.
