Fundraising

Many states have laws regulating the solicitation of funds for charitable purposes. These statutes generally require organizations to register with a state agency before soliciting the state’s residents for contributions, providing exemptions from registration for certain categories of organizations. In addition, organizations may be required to file periodic financial reports. State laws may impose additional requirements on fundraising activity involving paid solicitors and fundraising counsel. An IRS training document PDF describes these requirements in greater detail. Charitable organizations may wish to contact the appropriate state agency to learn more about the requirements that may apply in their state, before soliciting contributions. In some states, municipal or other local governments may also require organizations soliciting charitable contributions to register and report.

Our Philosophy

The Law Comes First

Law and philosophy sheds light on fundamental questions about what the law is and what it should be. The intersection of the two areas spans general jurisprudence (inquiries into the nature of law) to special jurisprudence (philosophical analysis of particular bodies of law).
