Donate or Pay Your Subsciption Fees Where Applicable
For organizations that rely on subscription fees, make sure you pay your subscription or you can be facing thousands of dollars in fees if an emergency ever occurs.
For organizations that rely solely on donations, consider giving a contribution. But learn about your local agencies before donating.
If you suspect fraud or embezelment, contact the state comptroller office.
