Where can a nonprofit organization register for charitable solicitations in multiple states at once?

The Unified Registration Statement Web site represents an effort to consolidate the information and data requirements of all states that require registration of nonprofit organizations performing charitable solicitations within their jurisdictions. The effort is organized by the National Association of State Charities Officials and the National Association of Attorneys General, and is one part of the Standardized Reporting Project, whose aim is to standardize, simplify, and economize compliance under the states' solicitation laws.

The Unified Registration Statement (URS) (available in HTML and PDF formats from the URS Web site) will prove most useful to those nonprofit organizations that are soliciting regionally or nationally and therefore subject to the registration laws of multiple states.

Currently, the URS is accepted by 34 states (plus the District of Columbia). A helpful map indicating which states accept the URS is included at this site.
