Compliance clock

What is due, and when

Computed from the fiscal year end and the return type. Federal dates are fixed by law. The state line is the general charitable solicitation rule of Maryland, read from the regulator’s own guidance; exemptions vary, and the regulator’s page is the authority.

Annual
Maryland charitable solicitation registration
Charities that solicit in Maryland register with the state and file a report each year, unless exempt. It is due within six months after the fiscal year ends. An extension is available. For a fiscal year ending in December, that is the end of June.
Watch
Automatic revocation rule No risk shown
Exempt status is revoked after three consecutive years without a return. The latest return on file is FY2025.

Filing history

What public data cannot tell you

A 990 shows money in and money out. It cannot show whether programs, outcomes, funding and compliance live in one place, or how long a funder report takes to produce. The five pillars below are scored only by the organization itself.
