Welcome to EO Radio Show – Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. I'm Cynthia Rowland, and episode 133 is the 23rd in a series of "Nonprofit Quick Tip" episodes focusing on the details of state registration of nonprofit corporations. Today, with the help of Joe Hilliard, we look at the basic state filing requirements for nonprofit corporations operating in Mississippi and Georgia.
In previous episodes, we discussed filing in Delaware and California, which are the most frequently used by our clients, most of whom have a connection with California. Earlier episodes have covered 41 states and the District of Columbia. After today's episode, the only remaining states are Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Montana, and Nebraska.
You can find all prior episodes on our website or on Farella's YouTube channel, where a playlist is available for state filing requirements.
