Does your organization have a license to solicit contributions in North Carolina? Is your license current? If you're exempt from licensing, have you let the N.C. Secretary of State know?

The Secretary of State is undergoing a compliance outreach project and will be contacting nonprofits in the coming months to make sure active organizations have a license or exemption from licensure if they are soliciting contributions in North Carolina.

Here's what you can do now: 

1. To confirm that your organization is in compliance: http://www.secretary.state.nc.us/csl/Search.aspx. You should either have a current license or an exemption.
    
2. You may find licensure forms and instructions at:  http://www.secretary.state.nc.us/csl/Download.aspx.
    
3. If you have any questions, contact the Secretary of State's Charitable Solicitation Licensing Division at 888-830-4989.
