Michigan Charitable Registration Requirements
Unless exempt, charitable organizations must register with the Michigan Attorney General before soliciting charitable contributions in Michigan.
Out-of-state nonprofits that register under the Michigan charitable registration laws are not required to qualify to do business in Michigan. However, engaging in other business activities such as having an office or employees in Michigan may trigger the requirement to register to do business in Michigan.
