New Proposed Registration Rules for California Charities

Welcome to EO Radio Show – Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. I'm Cynthia Rowland, and this is episode 156 of EO Radio Show. Today, we are going to talk about proposed changes to the filing process requirements for charities that are required to register with the California Registry of Charities and Fundraisers. These proposed changes apply to both the initial registration and annual renewal forms filed by California charities. One might think that this episode will be of interest only to California-based charities, but that would be wrong. All charitable organizations that solicit donations from California residents should take note.
