Straight answers.

Often, yes. Many states treat asking their residents for donations as soliciting there, whatever the channel, and some have adopted explicit internet rules. The details vary state by state — which is exactly what the scan and the state guides show you, with citations.

Take a breath — this is one of the most common situations in the sector, and states deal with late-comers all the time. The first step is knowing where you actually stand: the free scan shows where you're registered, where you're likely exempt, and where there's a gap, so you can work the list in order instead of panicking about all 52 jurisdictions at once.

Your choice. Monitor ($49/yr, or $5/mo) keeps you informed — registry monitoring, computed deadlines, rule-change alerts — while you file yourself. The paid tiers prepare filings from your profile, and where states allow it we submit them; a human approves anything that goes to a real state.

State fees are always passed through at face value. We will never mark up a check to an attorney general.

No — and here's exactly what that means: Steadworthy is a software platform, not a law firm, and nothing here is legal advice. What we do is show you what public records and cited statutes say, with dates and sources, so you and your advisors can act on facts.

It means we couldn't confidently match your organization in that state's registry — or the state's published data is known to be incomplete. Rather than guess (and risk telling a registered charity it isn't), we say so plainly.

We track every filing through three distinct stages: Submitted (we acted), Acknowledged (the state signaled receipt — a portal confirmation, a cleared check, correspondence), and Verified (the state's public registry actually shows it). We never call something 'registered' until the registry does.

Yes — a firm dashboard for CPAs, law firms, and fiscal sponsors managing multiple organizations is part of the platform. If that's you, get in touch and we'll walk you through it.
