Nonprofit Quick Tip: State Filings in Washington and Oregon

June 12, 2023 Podcast
EO Radio Show – Your Nonprofit Legal Resource

Welcome to EO Radio Show – Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. I'm Cynthia Rowland, and this is the third in a series of quick tip episodes focusing on the details of state registration of nonprofit corporations.

In episode 38, we talked about filing in California and Delaware, which are the most frequently used by our clients - most of whom have a connection with California. Episode 40 focused on the state filings in Arizona and Nevada.

Today with the help of Joe Hilliard again, we will talk about the basic state filing requirements for nonprofit corporations operating in Washington and Oregon. We'll work our way through the rest of the states in future episodes.
