Charitable Organization Registration Statement {BCO-10}

Form BCO-10 - CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION REGISTRATION STATEMENT. The Pennsylvania Solicitation of Funds for Charitable Purposes Act, 10 P. S. §162.1 et seq., requires organizations soliciting charitable contributions from Pennsylvania residents to register with the Bureau by filing a Charitable Organization Registration Statement (BCO-10), unless the organization is excluded or exempted from the Act. This form may be used for both initial registration and renewal of registration. Initial registration is required prior to any compensated person soliciting contributions on behalf of the charitable organization or within 30 days of receiving more than $25,000 in gross contributions for those organizations that do not compensate any person for soliciting contributions. Renewal of registration must be refiled (postmarked) no later than the 15th day of the eleventh month following the close of the organization’s fiscal year. The renewal due date is indicated on the certificate of registration sent to the organization upon the approval of a registration. The Bureau encourages renewal applications to be submitted prior to the due date to avoid gaps in registration. Requirement to update information: Charitable organizations are required to notify the Bureau in writing of any material change in any information filed with the Bureau not more than 30 days after such change occurs. www.FormsWorkflow.com
