Can I use social media to fundraise in North Dakota? What are the requirements?

Fundraising through Social Media in North Dakota

In North Dakota, nonprofits can use social media to fundraise, but they must comply with certain requirements.

According to North Dakota Century Code t44c04, public officers are required to make reports as required by law. Failure to do so can result in notification to the officer or board to whom the report should be made. However, this code does not provide any information on fundraising through social media.

The City of Fargo’s website [2] does not provide any information on fundraising through social media either.

The North Dakota Department of Public Instruction [5] provides resources for educators, but it does not provide information on fundraising through social media.

Therefore, we can conclude that there are no specific laws or regulations in North Dakota that prohibit fundraising through social media. However, nonprofits must comply with general fundraising regulations, such as registering with the North Dakota Secretary of State and complying with tax rules and responsibilities [4].

It is recommended that nonprofits consult with legal counsel to ensure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

  • Register with the North Dakota Secretary of State [4]

It is important to note that these requirements apply to all forms of fundraising, including fundraising through social media.

Therefore, nonprofits must ensure that they comply with these requirements when fundraising through social media in North Dakota.
