According to Chapter 53 Article 11 of the Business Corporation Act, action without a meeting requires a written consent signed by all the directors. It is generally held that emails do not meet this requirement, but that conference calls or webcast meetings where everyone can hear the discussion do meet the requirements. It should be spelled out in the Bylaws.

The consent shall have the same effect as a unanimous vote.

And what if they don't know where the donations come from? Are they required to register in every state just in case?
If a nonprofit organization solicits funds from people in other states, the organization may need to register with those states to be in compliance with local laws. Giving USA Foundation publishes and sells an Annual Survey of State Laws Regulating Charitable Solicitations as of January 1, 2018. The survey includes State Regulatory Agency information for each state, registration requirements and other useful information.
