Certificate of Good Standing Required For Charity State Registration

North Carolina has begun requiring a Certificate of Good Standing or Certificate of Authority for charities that register to solicit contributions in the state. The Certificate of Good Standing is required to have been issued in the last six months. Alternatively a charity may submit a screen shot of a website from the state that they are incorporated in showing that they are in good standing with the state. Charities incorporated in North Carolina are exempted from this provision.
