Annual Report for State Charity Bureau
Charity bureau annual filings carry perjury certifications and jurisdiction-specific deadlines, audit thresholds, oath language, attachments, and fee schedules. This skill produces a source-documented filing package ensuring internal consistency between the 990, financial statements, and state disclosures.
Quick Start
- Gather intake (state, period, revenue, fundraiser use, output mode)
- Normalize entity data and flag source conflicts
- Research state-specific requirements from official sources
- Draft report sections with cross-referenced tables
- Assemble filing package with exhibits, certification, and instructions
- Run post-draft alignment check
Pre-Draft Intake
Gather before drafting (skip only if user says "use defaults"):
- Filing state and year
- Reporting period (start/end, fiscal year end)
- Total revenue (determines audit/review thresholds)
- Professional fundraiser/solicitor/co-venturer use
- Output mode:
full-compliance (default), form-field, or executive-briefing
Request documents: articles/charter, bylaws, board minutes, Form 990 + schedules, financial statements (audited/reviewed/compiled), contracts, fundraising records, registration correspondence.
Defaults when user is silent (label each [ASSUMED]): annual renewal/solicitation report; last completed 12-month period; audit threshold per state rule; no professional fundraisers unless documents indicate otherwise.
Step 1 — Intake Normalization
Build a normalization table tracking each field's value, source document, and conflicts:
| Field |
Value |
Source |
Conflict / Note |
| Legal name |
|
|
|
| EIN |
|
|
|
| State charity reg. number |
|
|
|
| Fiscal year end |
|
|
|
| Reporting period |
|
|
|
| State of filing |
|
|
|
| Revenue basis |
|
|
|
| Fundraiser use |
|
|
|
Flag cross-source discrepancies (e.g., 990 revenue vs. audited financials) with [CONFLICT — VERIFY WITH COUNSEL].
Step 2 — State-Requirements Research
Use official sources only: agency website, statute, admin code, filing instructions, fee schedule, portal guidance. Record URL + publish date for each source. Mark unverified details [TO BE CONFIRMED].

Step 3 — Draft Report Sections
Draft in this order unless the state form dictates otherwise:
- Organizational Identity — legal name, DBA, EIN, reg. number, addresses, solicitation channels, reporting period, material changes
- Governance — board roster with roles, terms, compensation, relationship disclosures
- Financial Position — comparative financial summary, variance analysis, ratios
- Programs and Impact — descriptions, geography, beneficiaries, outputs, outcomes, expenses
- Fundraising and Compliance — disclosures by method, professional fundraiser schedule if applicable
- Attachments and Filing Execution — exhibits index, certification block, filing instructions

Post-Draft Alignment
After delivering the package, confirm with user:

- Are board members/officers current? Any compensation or relationship updates?
- Need additional output mode (form-field or executive briefing)?
- Any professional fundraiser contracts or amendments not yet provided?
Quality Checks

- Mark uncertain legal statements
[VERIFY]
