120: Nonprofit Quick Tip: State Filings in Virginia and West Virginia

Welcome to EO Radio Show - Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. I'm Cynthia Rowland, and EO Radio Show episode 120 is the 20th episode in a series of quick tips episodes focusing on the details of state registration of nonprofit corporations. With the help of Joe Hilliard, we look at the basic state filing requirements for nonprofit corporations operating in Virginia and West Virginia.

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 to California. Other episodes have focused on state filings in Nevada, Arizona, Washington State, Oregon, Alaska, Hawaii, New York and New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maine, Vermont, Rhode Island and New Hampshire, Florida and Louisiana, North Carolina and South Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Washington, D.C., Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, and Indiana. We've also discussed Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota.

You can find all previous episodes on our website or the Farella YouTube channel, where a playlist specifically dedicated to state filing requirements is available. We'll work our way through the rest of the states in future episodes.
