Built for Minnesota Attorney General Compliance

Minnesota watches charitable fundraising closely. The Charity CFO keeps your books clean and audit-ready year-round and tracks these deadlines, so your registration, annual report, and audit all stay on schedule as you grow.

Unless you qualify for a small-organization exemption, your nonprofit must register with the Minnesota Attorney General’s Office before soliciting, and file an annual report every year, due by the 15th day of the seventh month after your fiscal year ends. The rule that catches many growing organizations is the audit threshold: once your total revenue tops $750,000, Minnesota requires an audited financial statement prepared by an independent CPA under GAAP, and you cannot simply file your Form 990 in its place.

Minnesota nonprofits also file an annual renewal with the Secretary of State to keep the corporation active, a separate deadline that is easy to miss. Miss the annual report and your organization can lose its authority to legally solicit in Minnesota, which puts funding at risk.
