Annual
Washington charitable solicitation registration
Charities that solicit in Washington register with the state and renew each year, unless exempt. It is due within eleven months after the fiscal year ends. The renewal must be received by the last business day of that month. For a fiscal year ending in August, that is the end of July.
Exempt status is revoked after three consecutive years without a return. The latest return on file is FY2025.
