Does a “Donate Now” Button Trigger State Registrations?

33 minutes

If you have a “Donate Now” button on your website (and since the internet is available everywhere) do you need to do a charitable solicitation registration in every single state in the US? Stacey and Andy have the answer (sorta!) Also this week, Stacey has some opinions about whether or not you should allow board members to take a leave of absence, Andy talks about just how fancy video screens should be in order to prevent triggering angst among your more ascetic staff members, and we answer a perennial favorite: “How do I start a foundation?”
