Professional Fundraiser Contract Compliance Check
Produces a structured compliance audit that classifies each fundraising relationship, verifies registrations, extracts disclosure data, and maps contract clauses against state-mandated requirements.
Prerequisites
- States in scope — where the charity is registered and/or solicits
- Contract documents — executed agreements, amendments, SOWs, exhibits, fee schedules
- Filing target(s) — annual report/renewal, campaign notice, co-venturer filing
- Operational artifacts — donation flow diagrams, processor agreements, bank deposit controls (if available)
- Registration IDs — fundraiser/solicitor/co-venturer and charity registration numbers per state (if known)
- Solicitation start date — needed for Notice of Intent / contract filing deadlines
If inputs are missing, apply defaults: all registered states; annual report/renewal target; highest-risk classification until clarified. Mark gaps in "Open Items / Needed Inputs."
Output Structure
1. Classify Relationship and Verify Registration
| Type | Key Markers | Regulatory Burden |
|---|
| Professional Solicitor | Directly solicits donations; may handle funds, donor data, scripts | Highest — registration, contract filing, campaign reporting, point-of-solicitation disclosures |
| Fundraising Counsel | Advises/manages campaigns; does NOT solicit or take custody of funds | Moderate — reclassified as solicitor if counsel solicits or takes custody |
| Commercial Co-Venturer | Ties purchase/use of goods to charitable benefit ("$1 per sale goes to X") | Advertising disclosures (benefit amount, duration, charity ID) and accounting |
| Platform / Processor / Vendor | Donation platform, payment processor, influencer/affiliate | May become solicitor or co-venturer depending on marketing claims and solicitation control |
If classification is ambiguous, treat as highest-risk category until clarified by counsel.
Registration verification — for each vendor × state, extract and verify against state registry:
