The Importance of State Registration

Forty-one states require nonprofits to register and report annually to solicit contributions. Most organizations solicit by some combination of online, physical, and in-person activities, triggering registration requirements in multiple states, if not nationally. Nonprofits should take proactive steps to register and avoid the risks and costs associated with noncompliance.

Boards and leadership should treat registration as part of their duty of obedience to the organization. By registering, the organization further builds trust with donors and demonstrates accountability to the public it serves.

Service Excellence is Standard

All clients receive the sector’s leading service experience and a host of features designed to help you save time and effort, including:



  • A single point of contact manages your registrations and your ongoing relationship.

  • An optional Power of Attorney allows us to sign many applications for you.

  • No payments until your requirements research is complete, and your project plan is clearly defined.

Additionally, we offer a wide range of additional managed services to register professional fundraisers, fundraising consultants, commercial co-ventures (CCVs), and more.

Our Client Portal has streamlined an area of our operations that has historically been challenging. Harbor Compliance gives our leadership confidence that our licenses are up-to-date nationwide.

Harbor Compliance has been truly wonderful to work with. We’re a small organization, and if we had been forced to take on solicitation registrations, it would have pulled us away from important fundraising efforts. Harbor Compliance held our hand every step of the way and kept us informed and up to speed with every detail.
