115: Nonprofit Quick Tip: State Filings in South Dakota and North Dakota

Welcome to EO Radio Show - Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. I'm Cynthia Rowland, and EO Radio Show episode 115 is the 19th in a series of quick tip episodes focusing on the details of state registration of nonprofit corporations. With the help of Joe Hilliard, we will look at the basic state filing requirements for nonprofit corporations operating in South Dakota and North Dakota.

In previous episodes, we talked about filing in Delaware and California, which are the most frequently used by our clients, most of whom have a connection with California. Other episodes have focused on the state filings in Nevada and Arizona, Washington State and Oregon, Alaska and Hawaii, New York and New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maine and Vermont, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Florida and Louisiana, North and South Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico and Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Washington, DC, Michigan, Ohio, Illinois and Indiana, and last month, Wisconsin and Minnesota.

You can find all the prior episodes on our website or the Farella YouTube channel, where there is a playlist just for state filing requirements. We'll work our way through the rest of the states in future episodes.
