Important Information for Charitable Organization

During the 2024 legislative session, the Utah Legislature passed H.B. 43, Charitable Solicitations Act Amendments. Effective May 1, 2024, charitable organizations are no longer required to submit an annual registration with the Utah Division of Consumer Protection.  You DO NOT need a registration from the Division of Consumer Protection to solicit in the state of Utah.  

Beginning January 1, 2025, under the new Charitable Solicitation Act Rule, when you file the annual report (renewal) with the Division of Corporations you will be asked to provide the additional financial information required in the Charitable Solicitation Act Rule. The nonprofit shall submit an unredacted copy of its most recent IRS Form 990, 990-EZ, 990-N, or 990-PF to the Utah Division of Corporations and Commercial Code as part of the organization's annual filing process. 

The Division of Corporations will begin responding to emails via corpucc@utah.gov regarding this rule after January 1, 2025.  Answers to common questions regarding the new requirements will be posted in the nonprofit section of the Division of Corporation’s website in late December 2024.  Please check back then.  

If you have a complaint about a charitable organization, please contact the Division of Consumer Protection at (801) 530-6601 or dcp@utah.gov.
