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