What is due, and when
The IRS file shows this organization as covered by a group return filed by its parent organization, so it has no return dates of its own.
Annual
South Carolina charitable solicitation registration
Charities that solicit in South Carolina register with the state and renew each year, unless exempt. It is due by the 15th day of the fifth month after the fiscal year ends. An extension is available for the annual financial report only. For a fiscal year ending in December, that is May 15.
From IRS records of electronically filed returns. The IRS record date is the date in the IRS’s own record of each return. It is not a legal filing date, and extensions are not public.
