Florida Statutes Chapter 496, cited as the Solicitation of Contributions Act, was enacted by the 1991 Florida Legislature with an effective date of January 1, 1992. The law requires organizations like CharityWorks, Inc. to furnish the following information with each solicitation and receipt for contributions received:

Together these values reflect our responsibility to achieve a collaborative process whereby the public and private sectors work to more effectively and efficiently regulate, develop, and exchange resources for humanitarian causes.
