Created by the North Carolina Center for Nonprofits and updated annually, the Legal Compliance Checklist for North Carolina Nonprofits outlines laws that affect North Carolina nonprofits’ governance, finances, advocacy, human resources, and fundraising.
The current edition includes recent changes to state laws on charitable solicitation, sales tax exemption, nonprofit raffles, and training programs, and details about proposed changes to federal labor and government contracting rules that could affect many nonprofit organizations. The checklist format allows room for nonprofit staff and board members to make notes about additional actions their organizations may need to take on each item.
