How A Simple Donate Button Can Trigger Charity Registration Rules
Online donors see a simple way to support your mission. State regulators see a fundraising program reaching straight across state lines.
Even a single donate button invites questions about registration, exemptions, and filings across many states. Missed requirements lead to letters, late fees, platform problems, and hard conversations with your board. This short guide explains where risk builds around online giving and why a quick legal review before your next campaign often saves time, money, and trust.

What Our Clients Say
“When we started our new church, Candlestick Church of Rancho Cucamonga, California, we needed trusted legal guidance to ensure we were building a strong and compliant foundation for our ministry. Their expertise and support were invaluable, helping us navigate every step with confidence. We’re so grateful, their guidance truly made all the difference in our success!”
“I was comfortable from the first contact with Church Law Center. We needed to go through dissolution of our church, which by itself was an incredibly emotional thing to have to do. Then add the complexity of the forms and process for proper filing, we knew that we needed help. A task that felt incredibly overwhelming was made much easier by Myron and his team. They were able to answer our questions and handled everything for us. I would highly recommend them to anyone.”
“Through a “minor” miracle, our parachurch non-profit was put in contact with Myron and his staff. After the initial consultation, we knew they were the right fit for our needs. Their knowledge and experience are tremendous. The work they did through consultations and organizational document revision has not only put us in good legal stead but has given us a peace of mind that had been missing for some time. Now, we are pressing forward with renewed confidence!”
