Professional fundraisers include any person that solicits or employs or directs other to solicit contributions from the public on behalf of a charitable organization in exchange for compensation and has custody or control of the contributions; provided that this person is not a director, officer, bona fide employee or salaried officer, volunteer, attorney, accountant or investment counselor of a charitable organization. *NOTE* The statutory definition of the term ‘contributions’ is very important in determining professional fundraiser vs. professional fundraising counsel status. Contribution does not only refer to money in this case. It means also “ the promise, grant or pledge of any money, credit or property of any kind…in response to a solicitation” So, even if someone makes a solicitation and takes a pledge, but the actual money is sent to another operation, he or she is still considered a professional fundraiser under New Mexico Statute and required to register and report as such.
