Purpose:                                              Charitable  organizations  that  are  registered,  or  are  required  to  be  registered,  with  the  Department  of  Financial 
Institutions – Division of Corporate and Consumer Services (“division”) must file an annual financial report with the division 
within 12 months after the organization’s fiscal year-end unless the organization qualifies for an exemption from the annual filing 
requirement.   

An organization can file its annual report on Form #308 or on Form #1952.  Form #1952 (the Wisconsin Supplement to Financial 
Report), is a shorter, more commonly used, version of this form.  An organization can opt to submit Form #1952 instead of this 
form; however, Form #1952 must be accompanied by the organization’s IRS 990, 990EZ, or 990-PF.       
Please note that an organization may not have to file a Form #308 or a Form #1952 if: 
                                             it received $25,000 or less in contributions during its most recently completed fiscal year, or
                                             it operates solely in the county in which its principal office is located and received less than $50,000 in contributions
                                              during its most recently completed fiscal year.
If an organization’s contributions fall into either of the above categories, an Affidavit in Lieu of Annual Financial Report (Form 
#1943) should be submitted instead of Form #308 or Form #1952.
