Please remember that Louisiana does not require the IRS Form 990 for annual registrations.

Charitable organization means a person who is or holds himself out to be a benevolent, civic, recreational, educational, voluntary, health, law enforcement, social service, philanthropic, fraternal, humane, patriotic, religious, or eleemosynary organization.

Under Louisiana law, charitable organizations that use a professional solicitor are required to register annually with the Louisiana Attorney General’s Office.
