New Jersey Office of the Attorney General Division of Consumer Affairs Office of Consumer Protection Charities Registration Section 124 Halsey Street, 7th Floor, P.O. Box 45021 Newark, NJ 07101 (973) 504-6215 Form CRI-200 Short-Form Registration/Verification Statement (Revised April 2008) All questions must be answered. Charitable organizations, domiciled or doing business in the State of New Jersey, which receive gross contributions of $25,000 or less per year, are required to submit an initial registration and to renew registration annually. In both circumstances this form may be used. In the event an organization receives gross contributions of less than $10,000 per year and does not compensate anyone to solicit or perform fund-raising activities on its behalf, the organization is exempt from registration, but may still choose to register. The registration fee for charities with gross contributions between $0 and $25,000 is $30, whether the fee is for an initial or renewal registration. Payment is to be made by check or money order, made payable to the "New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs," and is due at the time of submission of the form. 1a.
