Change log
Every database migration applied to CharityFile, and changes to the fees, deadlines, exemptions, penalties and other state facts in our database, with the date of each. The database writes each fact entry itself and refuses a change that does not name who made it. It also refuses to edit or delete an entry, so a correction always appears as a new entry.
See /coverage for the share of rows whose quote we found in its source and the oldest review per jurisdiction, /api/quality for the machine-readable JSON snapshot, the RSS feed of the newest 200 entries, or the CSV export of every entry.
244 database migrations since Apr 24, 2026, and 1115 fact changes since Sep 9, 2026.
Fact changes

- Sep 14, 2026CA penalty: description Late filings incur a fee of $25 per month or partial month. The fee cannot be waived. Accrual begins on the 31st day after the Registry mails the first Delinquency letter. Charitable assets cannot be used to pay Late Fees—using charitable assets to pay penalties generally constitutes a waste of charitable assets and damage to the charity. → Cal. Gov. Code § 12586.1: a late fee of $25 for each month or part of a month after the date the registration renewal and financial report were due, or after any extension granted. Charitable assets may not be used to pay late fees; the Registry treats that as a waste of charitable assets.Made by: not recorded
Fact entries record changes to fees, deadlines, exemptions, penalties, required attachments, agencies, audit thresholds, deadline extensions and conditional duties, including changes made directly in the database. A fee, deadline, exemption or deadline extension entry shows the source quote and link of its row, or says what the entry did not record. Migration entries record every migration applied to the production database. This page shows every entry. The database refuses to edit or delete an entry of either kind. “Made by: not recorded” marks an entry from before we recorded who made each change.
