Like all corporations in California, domestic nonprofit corporations must file statements with the California Secretary of State. This form is called a Statement of Information. You must file this form within 90 days of filing your Articles of Incorporation and then re-file it biennially after that for most non-profits (annually for credit unions and consumer cooperative corporations).

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Form SI-100
  • Form SI-CID (only for common interest development corporations)
  1. Step 1

    Obtain a copy of Form SI-100. You can pick this up from your local Secretary of State's office or download it from their website (see Resources).

  2. Step 2

    Enter the address of the nonprofit's principal office in California and the mailing address if it's different from the street address.

  3. Step 3

    Fill out the section of the officers. Each nonprofit corporation must have a chief executive officer, chief financial officer, secretary and at least one director. You must enter each officer's name and address.

  4. Step 4

    Designate an agent for service of process in California. After the agent agrees to serve, fill out his information on the form.

  5. Step 5

    Complete Form SI-CID if your nonprofit corporation is a common interest development corporation, such as a homeowners' association.

  6. Step 6

    Put down the name of the person filling out the form and date it.

  7. Step 7

    Send in the Statement of Information with the appropriate fee to the Secretary of State of California by the due date.

Tips & Warnings
  • Follow the directions on the forms exactly.
  • Print neatly or type your form. If you download the form from the website, you can use Adobe Acrobat to type in the form fields for a neat, clean copy.
