Charitable Registration Brief
What association foundations need to file, state by state, before soliciting charitable contributions — and why NANA is pushing for a single multistate filing.
Many national associations run a charitable foundation alongside their 501(c)(6) trade arm, and most of those foundations solicit contributions in more states than they've registered in. This brief, written by board secretary Benjamin Oduya, lays out what charitable solicitation registration actually requires, why the current state-by-state system is a compliance burden most foundations underestimate, and where NANA's advocacy for a single multistate registration filing currently stands.
It covers the difference between operating in a state and soliciting in one, the penalties for lapsed registration, and a practical checklist for foundations that have never audited their own registration status. Association executives who assume their foundation's registration matches its fundraising footprint should read this brief before their next annual audit, since a mailed appeal or an unrestricted online giving page can trigger a registration requirement in a state the foundation has no other presence in at all.
