Listen "144: Nonprofit Quick Tip: State Filings in Kansas and Missouri"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome to EO Radio Show – Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. I'm Cynthia Rowland, and this episode marks the 26th in our series of "Nonprofit Quick Tip" episodes, which focus on the details of state registration for nonprofit corporations. Today, with the help of Joe Hilliard, we look at the basic state filing requirements for nonprofit corporations operating in Kansas and Missouri. With the addition of these two states, we have covered all the domestic jurisdictions for the incorporation of domestic US charitable organizations. You can find all prior episodes on our website or on Farella's YouTube channel, where a playlist of state filing requirements is available.
