Charitable organizations are governed by the Solicitation of Charitable Funds Act found in S.C. Code of Laws Title 33, Chapter 56. All charitable organizations that solicit contributions or have contributions solicited on their behalf must register with the Secretary of State’s Office prior to any solicitation activity and on an annual basis unless they fall under one of the statutory exemptions from registration.
A charitable organization that is required to register with the Secretary of State’s Office must submit a Registration Statement for a Charitable Organization (PDF) each year. In addition, a charitable organization must submit the Secretary of State’s Annual Financial Report Form (PDF) or the IRS Form 990, 990-EZ or 990-PF each year. Charities can file registrations and financial reports online. Start the online filing process.
