Harbor Compliance helps nonprofits register for charitable solicitation nationwide, obtain corporate income and sales tax exemptions, secure licensing for commercial co-ventures and fundraising professionals, form entities, and achieve 501(c) tax exemption. Harbor Compliance offers service in every state, including Wyoming.  
Fundraising Registration - 41 states require registration. Charitable solicitation is regulated on the state-level and the requirements vary by state. Wyoming doesn't
require registration, but if you solicit donors in other states you need to check to see if there is a requirement.
