North Dakota Charitable Solicitation Registration Statute

NDCC Chapter 50-22 requires charitable organizations soliciting more than $25,000 in annual contributions, and all paid professional fundraisers regardless of amount, to file annual registration statements, financial disclosures, and contracts with the Secretary of State. The statute defines solicitation broadly to include door-to-door, telephone, mail, and online appeals. Religious organizations and certain educational institutions are exempt. Cities retain authority to require commercial peddler permits and impose time-of-day restrictions, but they cannot waive the state charitable registration requirement.

Soliciting without state registration is a Class A misdemeanor; the Attorney General may seek civil penalties up to $10,000 per violation and injunctive relief.
