In an effort to deter fraudulent and deceptive organizations from soliciting contributions within Florida, the Legislature has amended its solicitation of funds law effective July 1, 2014. Some of the major changes are as follows:
Many nonprofits face significant challenges raising money to support their worthy missions, and some organizations might see added regulations as detracting from their causes. To the contrary, the state is aiming to reduce fraud and encourage nonprofits to focus on their missions. Doing so increases the amount of public funds available for organizations that truly are mission focused. When considered in that light, nonprofits should applaud the Legislature for these amendments, regardless of whether they were the result of a few bad apples spoiling the bunch.
