California State Attorney General/Registry of Charities and Fundraisers Q&A
- What is my Charitable Trust number?
Your Registry number (formerly called the Charitable Trusts number) can be found in the unit bylaws, in the Article titled "Identification Numbers." If your unit cannot find its bylaws, contact us, and let us know! We can help! - I just received my Registry number. What do I do now?
Your PTA will need to file form RRF-1 with the Attorney General’s office, for its most recently completed fiscal year, and then continue to file four months and 15 days after the end of its fiscal year, each year thereafter. - I need a copy of my bylaws to attach to the Registry of Charities and Fundraisers registration form. I don’t know where they are; what do I do?
If you are unable to find your bylaws, let us know! - I need a copy of our Letter of Determination (LOD) to attach to our registration form — where can I get one? Y
ou can obtain your LOD by calling your district or contacting California State PTA at [email protected]. - I am filing my RRF-1. The Attorney General’s Office of Charities and Fundraisers is requesting that we attach our Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form 990. We filed a 990N electronically. Do we make a copy and attach to the RRF-1?
The Attorney General’s Office of Charitable Trust advised us that if you have filed an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) 990N your PTA would not have to provide a copy. - What are gross revenues? Is it the same as gross receipts?
The gross revenues can be found in Part I, line 12 of the Form 990, Part I, and line 9 of the 990EZ. The gross revenue amount is different than the gross receipts.
