How Does an Organisation Register as a Non-Profit Organisation?
Before applying to register as an NPO the organisation must check that their founding documents are in order and meet the requirements of section 12(2) of the NPO Act.
The founding documents are:
- The constitution for a voluntary association
- The deed of trust for a trust
- The Memorandum and Articles of Association for a section 21 company
NPOs should then send two copies of their founding documents together with the application form to the NPO directorate.
