Charitable organizations registered with the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions (WDFI) must file an annual renewal with WDFI by July 31 (with late fee extension through September 30) each year to remain active. This requirement also applies to professional fundraising organizations which annual renewal is due August 31 (with late fee extension through October 31) each year.
