SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS

To avoid delays and unnecessary correspondence, answer all questions completely.

Name – Enter the organization's exact legal name on the renewal form. This will be the same name as is currently on the articles of incorporation or other organizing document. If you use any names other than the legal name, enter each name on the solicitation form in the space All other names under which you intend to solicit.

Item 2. If your charitable purposes or activities have changed since submitting your last registration form, summarize in 50 words or less the organization's current charitable purposes. This summary will be added to our database and our searchable website. Do not simply quote or refer to the articles of incorporation or provide the standard IRS 501(c)(3) language.

Item 3. A Michigan resident agent must be named for the acceptance of process issued by any court. The renewal form will not be processed without this information. You must provide a street address, not a P.O. box. The organization cannot name itself, the Michigan Attorney General, or the

1

Michigan Secretary of State as its resident agent. You may designate a private individual residing in Michigan. If you need information on companies that will act as resident agent for a fee, you may wish to do your own internet research. Our office does not provide lists of such companies.

Item 9. The engagement and compensation of all professional fundraisers providing services on Michigan campaigns must be reported in the

schedule.

A professional fundraiser (PFR) is anyone who “plans, conducts, manages, or carries on a drive or

campaign of soliciting contributions for or on behalf of a charitable organization.” A consultant that only has consulting contracts does not have to be licensed as a professional fundraiser. Y ou do not have to report consulting contracts. E mployees of

a charitable organization are PFRs if they are

paid wholly or in part by commissions – including bonuses – based on funds raised.

If you are unsure if the services provided by a person or firm you contracted with are such that a PFR license is required, provide a copy of the contract with your renewal form and request to have the contract reviewed. You will be notified if you must complete Part II and if the contractor should be licensed as a PFR.

Verification of license of PFR - Michigan law requires that you verify that any PFR with which you contract for fundraising in Michigan is currently licensed with this office.

PFR Contract - You are required to provide copies of contracts with PFRs within 10 days of signing a new contract or extending an existing contract.

Campaign Financial Statement -

Campaign Financial Statements, Form CTS-10, are required for all campaigns conducted by a PFR with which you have contracted, except those who are solely consultants. The Campaign Financial Statement will be filed by the PFR, but you will be required to provide additional campaign expense information and sign the form. Campaign financial statements are due within 90 days of the conclusion of any campaign. If the campaign lasts more than a year, a Campaign Financial Statement must be filed annually.

PFR Chart on Renewal Form-

Sum of all payments to / retained by PFR during the year reported – Include all fees, reimbursements, or other payments to the PFR that were related to the campaign or activity conducted by the PFR for the organization. Any monies that were retained by the professional fundraiser before remitting the proceeds of a campaign or activity to the charity must also be

included here. If the PFR listed was engaged after the close of the fiscal year reported in Item 10, enter "N/A" in this column.

Consultants - To qualify as a consultant, all of the following conditions must be met:

•the PFR is usually retained by a charitable or religious organization for a fixed fee or rate that is not computed on the basis of funds raised or to be raised;

•the PFR does not solicit funds, assets or property, but only plans, advises, consults, or prepares materials for a solicitation or fundraising event in Michigan;

•the PFR does not receive or control funds, assets, or property solicited in Michigan; and

•the PFR does not employ, procure, or engage any compensated person to solicit, receive, or control funds, assets, or property.

Item 10. An organization registering to solicit must provide a financial statement for its most recently completed fiscal year. If an organization files Form 990, 990-EZ, or 990-PF with the IRS, a copy must be provided with the renewal form. Organizations that do not complete a Form 990, 990-EZ, or 990- PF should complete items 11 and 12 on the form.

The IRS return must be prepared in accordance with IRS instructions. If you do not follow the instructions, we may question the return even if the IRS does not. All applicable schedules and attachments required by the IRS form or instructions must be submitted. However, if you file Form 990 or 990-EZ, do not provide a copy of Schedule B, Schedule of Contributors.

Organizations that file Form 990-EZ. Note – all expenses not in Item 10 as program services will be entered into our database and provided to the public as “Supporting services.”

Item 11. - Briefly describe the organization's activities or accomplishments during the fiscal period. Provide a sheet if additional space is needed. Do not simply restate the organization's charitable purpose.

Item 12. – Complete all lines. You must enter the end date of the accounting period. Do not leave any lines blank. Enter "0" if applicable.

On line D, enter all costs related to conducting the charitable activities and accomplishments discussed in Item 11.

2

Item 13. Audited or reviewed financial statements requirement - If audited financial statements have been prepared for the year being reported, provide a copy with the renewal form. It is not necessary to complete the schedule.

For all others, complete the schedule to calculate if audited or reviewed financial statements will be required. Total support may be reduced by the amount of governmental grants received during the year.

Audited financial statements must be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

If audited or reviewed financial statements are required, but they have not been prepared:

•You may request a one-time waiver of the reviewed or audited financial statements requirement. In your request, specify the fiscal year for which the waiver is requested and state that the necessary financial statements will be provided in all future years in which reviewed or audited financial statements are required. If you have already received a waiver of the financial statements requirement for a prior year, engage an auditor and see below to request a conditional registration.

•If the required financial statements are in the process of being prepared or you have already engaged an auditor to perform the necessary review or audit, provide a letter requesting a conditional registration. In your letter, state when you expect the financial statements to be available. Also, provide a copy of the signed engagement letter agreement with the audit firm. The solicitation registration will

include the condition that the required financial statements are to be provided by a specified date.

•The financial statements requirement may be suspended for food banks and similar organizations whose contributions are substantially non-cash. However, suspension of the requirement is unlikely if the organization’s cash contributions exceed the audited or reviewed financial statements thresholds, or if donated non-cash items are

typically converted to cash. Provide your suspension request, with the reason for the request, with the registration form. This must be done each year when applicable.

Item 14. Select YES and provide the information requested on the form if you are a parent organization that directly supervises and controls a local, county, or area division or chapter that is also a separate legal entity.

Unless previously submitted, you MUST provide:

•

appropriate documentation to show that you directly supervise and control the

•chapter;

names and addresses of each chapter to

•be included in your registration; and separate financial statements for each chapter
