New York Laws
Article 7-A - Solicitation and Collection of Funds for Charitable Purposes
174-B - Solicitation.

(a) a clear description of the programs and activities for which it
has requested and has expended or will expend contributions or shall
include therein a statement that, upon request, a person may obtain from
the organization such a description; and
(b) a statement identifying the website and telephone number of the
New York state office of the attorney general where an individual can
receive information on charitable organizations.
(c) If the solicitation is by an institution subject to article five-A
of the not-for-profit corporation law, and is for an endowment fund, the
solicitation must include a statement that, unless otherwise restricted
by the gift instrument pursuant to paragraph (b) of section five hundred
fifty-three of the not-for-profit corporation law, the institution may
expend so much of an endowment fund as it deems prudent after
considering the factors set forth in paragraph (a) of section five
hundred fifty-three of the not-for-profit corporation law.
3. In addition to any other disclosure required by law, any
solicitation by any means by a professional fund raiser or professional
solicitor on behalf of a charitable organization required to be
registered pursuant to this article shall clearly and unambiguously
disclose:
(a) the name of the professional fund raiser as on file with the
attorney general and that the solicitation is being conducted by a
professional fund raiser;
(b) the name of the individual professional solicitor as on file with
the attorney general and that the individual is receiving compensation
for conducting the solicitation; and
(c) a statement identifying the website and telephone number of the
office of the attorney general where an individual can receive
information on charitable organizations.
4. If any charitable organization makes contributions to another
organization which is not its affiliate as defined by paragraph (b) of
subdivision four of section one hundred seventy-two-b of this article,
such solicitation shall include a statement that such contributions have
been made and that a list of all organizations which have received
contributions during the past twelve months from the soliciting
organization may be obtained from that organization provided, however, a
united way, federated fund or incorporated community appeal, by or
through which a donation is merely transferred to a charity selected by

the donor, need not include such donor selected organizations in the
list.
5. A charitable organization shall comply with all requests made
pursuant to subdivisions two and four of this section within fifteen
days of their receipt. In the event that a charitable organization
required to register pursuant to this article has not previously been
required to file an annual report with the attorney general, the
solicitation shall state the date when such report will be filed.
Provided, however, that no additional solicitation shall be permitted by
charitable organizations until an annual report is filed, if the report
is delayed beyond one year.
