Join us for the first
IDEAS & INFO Luncheon of the fall, where Dr. Taj Carson of Carson Research Consulting will offer best practices for making creative data visualizations.

If you solicit contributions in Maryland, you must be registered as a charitable organization - visit the Maryland Secretary of State's Charitable Division website.
Fundraising in other states: Before soliciting in other states, research the applicable state laws. Some states do not require registration, and other states allow nonprofits to seek an exemption, if funds raised are not significant (i.e. under $25,000).
One of the new benefits of membership in Nonprofit PGC is access to a website that provides current information on regulations nationwide regarding registration as a charitable organization.
