Navigating the new California regulations for charitable fundraising platforms and platform charities can be complex and time-consuming. That’s where we come in. Our specialized service is designed to streamline the entire registration and reporting process, so you can focus on what you do best – making a difference.

How It Works

Initial Consultation

We assess your current compliance status and outline a customized plan to meet California's new requirements.

Registration

We complete and submit Form PL-1 for initial registration and handle all subsequent PL-2 renewals.

Good Standing Verification

We verify the recipient charities you support are in good standing with the IRS, California’s Attorney General’s office, and the Franchise Tax Board.

Annual Reporting

Our team prepares and files the required financial reports (Form PL-4) by the July 15 deadline each year.

Ongoing Compliance

We monitor your compliance status and update you on any changes in regulations, ensuring you stay in good standing.

Who Can Benefit?

Two types of organizations face registration requirements. Our services are designed to help both.

Charitable Platforms

Charitable platforms are technology providers that either work directly with nonprofits or offer SaaS platforms that enable nonprofits to engage in direct solicitation or peer-to-peer fundraising. 

Cause marketing co-venturers that support more than six nonprofits fall into this category.

Platform Charities

Platform charities are Intermediary nonprofits that receive donations which are later re-granted to recipient charitable organizations similar to a Donor-Advised Fund model.
