Announcing, the All-New Labyrinth
…and what our expanded focus means for your nonprofit.
For over 30 years, thousands of nonprofits have turned to Labyrinth for help navigating the ever-changing landscape of fundraising compliance. While managing charitable registrations continues to be one of the biggest challenges of running a compliant nonprofit, organizations face a multitude of other requirements. With this in mind, we are excited to share a strategic expansion of our services.
We help nonprofits simplify practically all their government paperwork, including:
- Meeting all of their charitable registration and fundraising disclosure needs, including working hand-in-hand with your professional fundraisers, fundraising counsel, cause marketing partners
- Protecting their corporate registrations via registered agent and annual report filings
- Creating new tax registrations so they can sell goods and pay employees across state lines
- And so much more.
That’s why we’re thrilled to announce the new and improved Labyrinth
Continuing a Tradition of Helping Nonprofits Increase Their Impact
Why become a comprehensive compliance partner rather than focusing on one specific regulation? Because clients have repeatedly confirmed they value having a one-stop shop when it comes to managing regulatory requirements. Dealing with just one vendor is easier and saves time compared to working with many. Nonprofits thrive when they can remain solely focused on their missions without worrying about the distraction of regulatory filings.
But most importantly, more than any other provider on the market, we've designed our systems to securely store nonprofit data in a structured way so that it can be reused across multiple filings. Remember the multitude of additional requirements mentioned above? Our centralized Organization Profile makes dealing with them infinitely easier and eliminates the need to start every filing from scratch.
Over 60% of nonprofits registered nationwide rely on Labyrinth to help them minimize time spent on charitable registrations, enabling them to focus more effectively on their core missions. These clients have been part of a movement toward eliminating the wasted time and energy spent on government paperwork. By expanding our services, we are accelerating our progress toward a future free of government filing anxiety.
Have you worried about the potential consequences of incorrect government paperwork? Has the thought of a board director or major donor taking issue with filings you’ve done or left undone weighed on your mind? Have you ever felt bogged down by the sheer volume of paperwork necessary to run your organization? With this strategic expansion, total confidence in your regulatory status is now within reach.
And, the best part is that this movement towards peace of mind comes with the incredible added benefit of freeing you to grow and prosper in your mission. We want to give organizations everywhere the gift of uninterrupted focus on their missions. We do that by expanding from “State Charity Registration Experts” to “Nonprofit Compliance Experts.” The new slogan better communicates that we make attaining total nonprofit compliance easy.

More Investments in Your User Experience to Expand Your Capacity
Explosive demand over the past two years has led us to pour resources into our infrastructure and team. In addition to increasing our staff, we’ve rolled out multiple key features in your client portal, including:
- Corporate registration status monitoring: See registration statuses with secretary of state offices nationwide and protect good standing via the Corporate Registrations module
- Flexible in-app payment options and billing history: View paid and unpaid invoices by date range, and issue payment by credit card, direct bank transfer (ACH), or check

We’re excited to announce a whole host of new features designed to make our clients’ lives easier:
Project Status
Filing projects can be complex. The new Project Status screen makes keeping things organized easy: You can see the current status of your filing projects broken down by jurisdiction. When we need additional information, signatures, or payment to advance the filing process, Project Status sends automatic email notifications to users, either weekly or monthly, according to your preference.
Online Information Collection
Web-based information collection eliminates manual review of PDF forms: While states will still require all the necessary information for charitable registration, the process of providing that information doesn't have to involve waiting for a PDF, downloading it, uploading it, and sending it back. The online information form incorporated into the Project Status screen eliminates that need. This form stores the information entered from year to year, so users only have to update what's changed. Consequently, users can always keep their information up-to-date and always see what is on file.
In-App Comments
Communicating about filing requirements by email can be confusing. In-App Comments make things clearer: The In-App Comments feature enables users to communicate directly with the team responsible for managing their registrations without leaving the Client Portal. The comments are kept in the context of the filings they reference. This results in more efficient and clear communication. Users can also send documents back and forth in the context of the filings they’re used in.
Charitable Registration Map
Seeing where an organization is and isn’t registered keeps fundraising organized. The Charitable Registration Map delivers just that: Understanding exactly where an organization holds a registration, where it might need to register in the future, and where it is exempt is vital for advance planning. The Charitable Registration Map delivers that information at a glance.
Improved Charitable Registration List
Understand the requirements your organization faces in the states where it's registered with the improvise Charitable Registration List: Many organizations wonder about the requirements they face in the states where they're registered and what will happen if those requirements change. The new Charitable Registration List clarifies requirements and is kept up to date by our proprietary reference database. The List has been upgraded to include records for every state, not just the ones where you hold registrations. By clicking the ‘Details’ link on any registration, you can instantly see what registration requirements exist.
Our North Star is Simplicity
Our focus on enhancing user experience and creating a favorable environment for nonprofits to thrive continues. We are committed to minimizing the regulatory complexities that may hinder your progress.
Our recent expansions are just the start, and we are constantly searching for new ways to support your invaluable work with greater efficiency and effectiveness.
