Description
This organization helps congregations find information and resources about organizations that regulate and support charitable work. Although the National Association of State Charity Officials (NASCO) does not give legal advice, it aims to help state regulators communicate with a unified voice and promote ethical practices for charitable organizations.
NASCO provides useful directories of government regulators and organizations, public statements on relevant topics, and updates on relevant news. The national conference brings together government regulators and not-for-profit professionals to help them share and discuss topics of mutual interest.
Features

Practical Applications
- Use the directories to find organizations and guidance that can help your congregation follow relevant regulations and practices for charitable organizations, such as your state’s not-for-profit regulators or the Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines for online giving.
- Explore the public statements to gain insight on topics, such as political activity of tax-exempt organizations and appropriate tax-filing practices for nonprofits, from the perspective of state regulators.
