Yes.  The National Association of State Charity Officials has taken the position that “passive” website solicitation, where the charity does not actively try to drive traffic to the website and merely accepts donations from people who find it, does not create the need for registration in additional states.  But where the organization tries to get people from other states to go to the website to contribute, registration is required.  It sounds like the process you describe of sending newsletters, e-newsletters and e-mails to others in other states, if those messages ask for funds or drive traffic to the site that asks for funds, would generate the requirement to register.

Even if there is no active development in other states and the organization's website is truly passive, any good development person will thank a donor and sooner or later ask for more.  As soon as that request goes to another state, it will technically trigger the need to register in that state if registration is required.

Update 2023.

More states are now taking the position that if you have a donate now type button on a website, that is considered solicitation in the state and requires registration if you are nnot excluded or exempted from the general registration requirement.  If you are active in soliciting on a national basis, you should really be registered nationally.   —Don Kramer
