Document background
Not For Profit Articles of Incorporation are essential when establishing a new charitable or not-for-profit organization in Ireland. This document is required for registration with the Companies Registration Office and serves as the organization's constitution. It must comply with the Companies Act 2014 and related regulations, particularly those pertaining to Companies Limited by Guarantee. The Articles define the organization's charitable or not-for-profit purposes, establish its governance structure, outline membership rights and obligations, and set forth operational procedures. They are crucial for obtaining charitable status, securing tax exemptions, and demonstrating proper governance to stakeholders. The document needs careful consideration as it forms the legal backbone of the organization and can be challenging to modify once registered.
