PA exemption: description Charitable organizations that receive $25,000 or LESS in contributions annually are exempt from BCO-10 registration, PROVIDED they do NOT compensate any person who conducts solicitations. CRITICAL: if contributions cross $25,000 mid-year, the organization must register with PA DOS within 30 days under §162.5. May claim initial exemption via Form BCO-9. → 10 P.S. §162.6(a)(8): an organization that receives $25,000 or less in contributions annually is exempt from BCO-10 registration if it does not compensate any person who conducts solicitations. The $25,000 is counted nationally: the BCO-10 instructions (rev. 1/2024), page 2, footnote 1, define gross annual contributions as total national contributions from all sources, not just contributions received from Pennsylvania. An organization that solicits Pennsylvania residents and crosses $25,000 must register within 30 days (§162.5). Initial exemption may be claimed on Form BCO-9.; source url https://www.pa.gov/content/dam/copapwp-pagov/en/dos/programs/charities/CharitiesSolicitationAct-1-2018.pdf → https://www.pa.gov/agencies/dos/programs/charities/information-for-charities/-charitable-organizations.html
