Registration opens July 1 every year for the next solicitation period. When you renew your registration the following year, you will log in using your FEIN and confirmation number from the prior year. Once you log in, the registration form will be auto-filled with the information you submitted the previous year, and you will only need to update the information as needed.
Charitable organizations seeking to fundraise in Alaska must adhere to the state’s requirements by registering with the Department of Law before soliciting contributions. Registration and renewal are straightforward, requiring completion of an online form with a modest fee. It's important to meet the September 1 deadline to avoid penalties under the Alaska Charitable Solicitations Act. Organizations should maintain accurate, up-to-date records and review Alaska’s guidelines annually to ensure compliance.
