Foreign donations are regulated by the FCRA, which ensures that they do not jeopardies national security. It was first enacted in 1976, and it was updated in 2010 to include a raft of new regulations governing foreign donations. All associations, groups, and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) who want to receive foreign donations must comply with the FCRA. Registration under the FCRA is required of all such NGOs. The registration is valid for five years at first, after which it can be renewed if all requirements are met. Foreign contributions for social, educational, religious, economic, and cultural reasons are permitted for registered organisations. Annual returns, similar to those filed with the Internal Revenue Service, are required to be filed.
