Oversight of charitable organizations often rests with the state attorney general. Other state offices with oversight may include the secretary of state (e.g., nonprofit incorporation and annual certification) and Department of Revenue (e.g., application for property, sales and other tax exemptions, charity gaming such as bingo).

The attorney general typically has the legal standing on behalf of the public to bring a lawsuit in court or to impose other relief (e.g., injunctions, asset receiverships, replacement of directors or trustees) in cases where claims have been made by donors, whistleblowers, or the public that the organization is acting imprudently, ignoring donor intent, or otherwise violating the law.
