State Registrations

The National Association of Attorney Generals (NAAG) and the National Associations of State Charities Officials (NASCO) are working together to standardized non-profit agencies registration procedures to allow solicitation to occur within their states. To date, close to 40 states are utilizing the Unified Registration Statement.

So what does this mean to a donor or an investor interested in supporting FORGE? A non-profit agency that register within the states they solicit or plan to solicit send a signal of credibility to potential donors and provides a place within a state for a donor to investigate a non-profit. Attorney Generals are concerned, and rightly so, about the fund raising within their states. This unified approach in registering is a real help to a non-profit such a FORGE who will need to register or reregister with most of the states over a 1-5 month period at the beginning of each new calendar year.

Listed below is the current list of states that FORGE is registering in or will be registering with. States that do not require registration are listed as well:
