The Secretary of State's Office notifies registered Fundraisers by regular mail and email 45-60 days before the expiration date of their current registration with the Charities Program. However, a Commercial Fundraiser may renew its registration at any time after the close of the organization's accounting year, but no later than the deadline noted in the chart below.

If you're uncertain which accounting year to report or have other questions, please contact the Charities Program by phone at 360-725-0378.

Find the month the organization's accounting year ends. The annual renewal must be received no later than the deadline.
