Offering Nonprofits Communication, Calendar, and Tools
Tri-City Voice, January 5, 2021
The Tri-Cities are vibrant and strategically urban communities, as well as the most ethnically and culturally diverse cities in the Bay Aera. With this come diverse needs, many met by local nonprofits that support needs ranging from health care, enriched education, introduction to music, to social emotional well-being resources. With all this nonprofit work in the Tri-Cities area, three local nonprofit champtions were inspired to create the Tri-City Nonprofit Coalition (TCNP) with these benefits in mind:
- Searchable directory of Tri-City Nonprofits
- Comprehensive event/activity master calendar
- Education events (Zoom meetings, webinars, speaker series, presentation)
- List of public meeting spaces
- Social and networking events
- Newsletter
New filing forms for nonprofits from the CA Attorney General’s office – don’t use the old ones in 2021!
The Attorney General’s office oversees nonprofits and fundraising professionals in California, though they are not the only department that requires nonprofit filings (for example, the Franchise Tax Board).
This year, the AG’s office updated a number of forms that some nonprofits are required to file, including:
- Registration – for new organizations
- Renewal – annual registration renewal form, required for most organizations
- Raffles – if you host a raffle during the year, you’re required to file for a permit and a post-event report
- Professional Fundraisers – for firms or people who charge for their fundraising services, including online fundraising platforms
Beginning January 1, 2021, the new versions are the only forms that will be accepted. The use of old forms will cause a delay in your registration/renewal.
