This page provides a high-level overview of annual renewal deadlines across U.S. jurisdictions. Because states regulate charitable solicitation independently, due dates and filing triggers vary significantly.
This information is intended as a planning reference. Organizations should confirm current requirements with the appropriate state agency before filing.

The chart below summarizes common charitable solicitation renewal timing patterns across U.S. jurisdictions. Because deadlines vary between fiscal-year and anniversary-based systems, organizations fundraising nationally often manage multiple compliance cycles simultaneously. This chart is focused on December year end organization, which comprise most, but not all nonprofits in the U.S.
The visual summary below highlights common charitable solicitation renewal timing patterns across U.S. jurisdictions and helps organizations anticipate peak compliance periods.

This table summarizes when registration is typically required relative to fundraising activity.
Planning Note
Because deadlines vary by fiscal year end, anniversary date, and extension status, organizations operating in multiple states typically maintain a centralized renewal calendar and documentation repository.
Organizations that prefer not to manage this process internally often work with compliance specialists such as Ironwood Registrations to coordinate renewals and track deadlines across jurisdictions.
Managing renewal timelines across multiple states can become complex as organizations grow.
Many organizations discover that tracking renewal cycles across multiple jurisdictions becomes the primary operational compliance risk as fundraising expands.
Schedule a consultation to review your registration calendar.
