  • Are SSOs required to register with the Georgia Secretary of State's office?

    Absolutely.  As any business operating in Georgia, SSOs must register and be in good standing with the Secretary of State's office in order to accept donations and grant scholarships.  For more information, contact the Corporations Division of the Secretary of State's office and, as with all business and legal ventures, consult with your tax and legal professionals.
