The Charitable Registration & Investigation Section administers and enforces the provisions of the
Charitable Registration & Investigation Act (CRI Act). The
CRI Act regulates the fund raising activities of most charitable organizations and all professional fund raisers, fund-raising counsels, commercial co-ventures and solicitors conducting business within this State by requiring them to register and file annual financial reports with the Charitable Registration Section. To ensure that an organization and/or a professional fund raiser soliciting you is currently registered, please search our
Directory of Registered Charities or call our Charitable Registration Hotline at (973) 504-6215. Section phone hours are Monday
thru Friday, 9:00am - 4:30pm.
If your charity is holding a fund raising bingo or raffle event

Legalized Games of Chance Control Commission.
