Dear Customer,

When organizing a fundraising event for a Georgia nonprofit, you must ensure compliance with the Georgia Charitable Solicitations Act. Most nonprofits are required to register with the Georgia Secretary of State before soliciting donations and include required disclosures in all fundraising materials. Annual renewals and proper recordkeeping are also mandatory. If paid fundraisers are involved, they must register separately and submit post-campaign reports. Compliance should be overseen by the nonprofit’s board and management, with legal or compliance professionals assisting to ensure deadlines and filings are met and penalties are avoided.

Kind regards,
