A North Dakota CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION REGISTRATION STATEMENT is a document that must be completed and filed by any organization that wishes to solicit, receive, or expend funds for charitable purposes in the state of North Dakota. This is a mandatory requirement for any organization wishing to operate a charity in the state. The statement must be filed annually and must be accompanied by a filing fee. There are two types of North Dakota Charitable Organization Registration Statements: the Charitable Organization Registration Statement and the Charitable Organization Renewal Statement. The Charitable Organization Registration Statement is for new organizations that have not registered before. This statement includes information about the organization’s purpose, officers, and directors. The Charitable Organization Renewal Statement is for existing organizations that need to renew their registration annually. This statement includes information about the organization’s activities during the past year, any changes to its purpose or officers, and a financial report. Both statements must be signed by a majority of the organization’s officers and directors.
