New York Charitable Solicitation Clean close-out

If you no longer solicit in New York, a clean close‑out can reduce ongoing obligations and prevent future confusion in public records. This guide covers charitable solicitation registration New York and New York nonprofit registration fundraising in plain English.

State-specific note
  • New York is high-visibility: donors, grantmakers, and watchdogs often reference NY public filings.
  • If you’re running campaigns or have recurring online giving, keep NY status clean and confirmable.

When a clean close-out makes sense

  • You stopped soliciting in New York and want to reduce ongoing obligations
  • You no longer accept donations from New York residents (including online)
  • You want your public record to match reality (no lingering “not current” labels)

What clean close-out typically involves

  • Confirming last solicitation activity and whether any final filings are needed
  • Submitting a withdrawal/close-out notice (as applicable)
  • Keeping proof of submission for future diligence questions

Important note

If you still have a Donate button or can accept gifts from New York residents, close-out may not be appropriate. Filing authority: New York Attorney General (Charities Bureau).
