Many states exempt from the registration and reporting requirements of their charitable solicitation acts solicitations that are solely for the benefit of specified individuals.

Thus, a charitable solicitation statute may make this exemption available for persons requesting contributions for the relief of any individual specified by name at the time of the solicitation when all of the contributions collected without any deductions whatsoever are turned over to the named beneficiary for his or her use. As this phrasing indicates, this exemption is usually voided where professional fundraising assistance is used.

As discussed, this type of exemption is often in conflict with the concept of solicitations for charitable purposes.

Rarely will these solicitations be exempt from the totality of the charitable solicitation act.
