In 1943, New Hampshire became the first state to create an office dedicated to the oversight of charitable trusts and organizations. Today the mission of the Charitable Trusts Unit (CTU) is to protect the public's interest in the organizations and assets committed to charitable purposes in New Hampshire. We do this through effective registration, education and enforcement.

What's New?
It's Here! Electronic Filing for Registrations and Annual Reports.
Charities may now electronically file their application for registration, annual report, and annual report extension requests. Links to the forms appearing on our All Forms page: Form NHCT 11 (application for registration), NHCT 12 (annual report) and NHCT 14 (annual report extension request). We have also changed the corresponding paper forms to align with the electronic forms. They too appear on the All Forms page. We hope you will use the electronic forms.
