Welcome to EO Radio Show – Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. I'm Cynthia Rowland, and episode 135 is the 24th in a series of "Nonprofit Quick Tip" episodes focusing on the details of state registrations of nonprofit corporations. Today, with the help of Joe Hilliard, we look at the basic state filing requirements for nonprofit corporations operating in Idaho and Iowa.

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 43 states and the District of Columbia. After today's episodes, the only remaining states are 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.
