IN penalty: description Indiana does not require general charitable solicitation registration, but charitable fraud is actively prosecuted under the Deceptive Consumer Sales Act (IC 24-5-0.5). The DCSA "consumer transaction" definition explicitly includes charitable solicitations. Per IC 24-5-0.5-4: standard deceptive act = civil penalty up to $5,000 per violation; violation of an injunction = up to $15,000 per violation; incurable deceptive act = up to $500 per violation. Indiana AG Consumer Protection enforces. Pro fundraiser consultants/solicitors face separate IC 23-7-8 registration requirements ($1K initial + $50/yr renewal); failure to register/comply triggers separate enforcement. → Indiana does not require general charitable-organization solicitation registration. The Attorney General, Consumer Protection, enforces the Deceptive Consumer Sales Act. IC 24-5-0.5-4(g) authorizes a civil penalty of a fine not exceeding five thousand dollars ($5,000) per violation for a knowing violation of section 3 or 10; section 4(f) authorizes up to fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000) per injunction violation; section 8 authorizes up to five hundred dollars ($500) for an incurable deceptive act. Charitable purpose in IC 24-5-0.5-2(a)(1) is a purpose of a sale, lease, or disposition, not a gift solicitation.; source url https://law.justia.com/codes/indiana/title-24/article-5/chapter-0-5/section-24-5-0-5-4/ → https://iga.in.gov/ic/2026/Title_24.html; source cite Indiana Code IC 24-5-0.5-4 → IC 24-5-0.5-4; source quote replaced
