103: Nonprofit Quick: Tip State Filings in Michigan and Ohio

EO Radio Show

Welcome to EO Radio Show - Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. I'm Cynthia Rowland, and this is our 16th in the series of "Nonprofit Quick Tip" episodes, focusing on state registration of nonprofit corporations. With the help of Joe Hilliard, we will look at basic state filing requirements for nonprofit corporations operating in Michigan and Ohio.

In previous episodes, 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, Arizona, Washington State, Oregon, Alaska, Hawaii, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maine, Vermont, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Florida, Louisiana, North Carolina, South Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, and most recently Washington D.C.

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. In future episodes, we'll work our way through the rest of the states.
