Does your nonprofit organization raise money?

If so, most state’s laws require registration prior to fundraising in that state. Clearly Compliant has one focus: charity registration. We take the guesswork out of charitable solicitation registration.

Today’s environment

Nonprofits organizations are an increasingly crucial part of our society. They provide help to the needy, funds for good causes, education for living skills, social and medical services, environmental advocacy and list goes on. Today nonprofits face powerful accountability pressures. Approximately 40 states have laws governing charitable solicitations.

It is the law

Keeping up with state statute changes is time consuming and requires specific expertise. Our legal counsel tracks state and federal laws on a daily basis. Noncompliance can be costly in many ways; late filing fees, civil and criminal penalties, forced return of donations, loss of ability to raise funds in a state and even loss of tax exempt status. Compliance is not optional; it is law.

Get your nonprofit registered

Clearly Compliant is your charity registration solution. During the assessment phase we help determine in which states your nonprofit needs to register. We then ensure your nonprofit is compliant with each state’s regulations to include initial registration, annual renewal, financial reporting, extensions and other mandatory filing requirements.

We know the rules

Fees, payment methods, due dates, signatures, required notarizations and a variety of filing facts vary by state. Suffice to say that nonprofit charitable registration compliance is not an easy task to manage. Focus on your mission; let Clearly Compliant manage your charity registrations.

KINDLE

"Thank you and your team for all your hard work on behalf of KINDLE these past months and for walking us so carefully and thoughtfully through the first round of state registrations.  It has been so pleasant and easy to work through this process with you. At our recent KINDLE Board meeting, I expressed to them how grateful I am that we chose not to tackle this in-house, and how professional and helpful you and Clearly Compliant have been throughout the process.  I have learned so much from you and from the process."

Community Health Free Clinic

"Community Health Free Clinic has been with Clearly Compliant for over seven years, and I am so glad we don't have to worry about charity registrations! Generous folks from across the country provide important financial support to the clinic. Staff can focus on serving people who need medical care, not the administrative burden of fundraising compliance."
