Manage episode 455784599 series 3558227
Welcome to EO Radio Show - Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. I'm Cynthia Rowland, and this is EO Radio Show episode 106. As we finish off 2025, we're presenting our 17th in the series of "Quick Tip" episodes focusing on the details of state registration of nonprofit corporations. With the help of Joe Hilliard today, we will look at basic state filing requirements for nonprofit corporations operating in Illinois and Indiana.
In a previous episode, we talked about filing in Delaware and California, which are the most frequently used by our clients, most of whom have a connection with California. Other episodes have focused on the state filings in Nevada and Arizona, Washington State and Oregon, Alaska and Hawaii, New York and New Jersey, Massachusetts and Connecticut, Maine and Vermont, Rhode Island and New Hampshire, Florida and Louisiana, North Carolina and South Carolina, Kentucky and Tennessee, Oklahoma and Texas, New Mexico and Utah, Colorado and Wyoming, Washington, D.C., and most recently Michigan and Ohio.
You can find all the prior episodes on our website or the Farella YouTube channel, where there is a playlist just for state filing requirements. We'll work our way through the rest of the states in future episodes.
