The Problem
Nonprofits face a unique mix of compliance deadlines. The IRS Form 990 must be filed by the 15th day of the 5th month after your fiscal year ends — miss it three years in a row and your tax-exempt status is automatically revoked. State charity registrations must be renewed annually in every state where you solicit donations. Grant application deadlines are non-negotiable. D&O insurance protects your board members. Volunteer background checks need periodic re-screening.
With lean staff and tight budgets, nonprofits often lack dedicated compliance roles. These deadlines fall to an executive director or operations manager who is already stretched thin.
