FAQ

What is a clean close-out for charitable solicitation in Georgia?
It’s the process of properly ending/withdrawing a charitable solicitation registration so the organization is not left in a delinquent or confusing public status.
Do we need to cure a delinquency before closing out in Georgia?
Sometimes. Some states require you to become current before withdrawal; others allow withdrawal with conditions. The right approach depends on the state and your filing history.
Will close-out stop all future obligations?
It should stop future renewal obligations for that state registration—assuming it’s accepted and documented. Keep confirmation for your records.
