110: Nonprofit Quick Tip: State Filings in Wisconsin and Minnesota

Welcome to EO Radio Show - Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. I'm Cynthia Rowland, and EO Radio Show episode 110 is the 18th in a 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 Wisconsin and Minnesota.

In our first state filings 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., Michigan and Ohio, and last month Illinois and Indiana.

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.
