Incorporating a Non-Profit Organization is the process of legally establishing a distinct entity with specific benefits and responsibilities. This formal incorporation is essential to provide legal protection, enhance credibility, access funding opportunities, ensure tax-exempt status, and establish a stable operational framework. By incorporating, the organization gains distinct advantages that support its mission and longevity, safeguarding its leadership and members from personal liability while facilitating growth and sustainability.

Reasons to Incorporate a Non-Profit Organization:

• Limited Liability: Incorporation shields individuals involved (directors, officers, members) from personal liability, protecting their assets in case of legal issues or debts incurred by the organization.
• Credibility and Trust: Formal incorporation enhances credibility and trust among donors, volunteers, and the community, signaling a commitment to transparency, governance, and accountability.
• Tax-Exempt Status: Registered non-profits can apply for tax-exempt status, allowing them to avoid certain taxes and offer tax deductions to donors, encouraging contributions.
• Access to Funding: Incorporation opens avenues to diverse funding sources, such as grants and donations, which are often reserved for registered non-profit organizations. This access to funding can sustain and expand the organization's initiatives.
• Operational Stability: By incorporating, the organization establishes a structured governance framework, ensuring clear decision-making processes, operational stability, and continuity despite changes in leadership or membership.

Organization's Name Reservation: Refers to an official name search report issued by Industry Canada specifically for your non-profit entity. If you haven't obtained one, rest assured that we will include it as part of the order process. This report ensures the uniqueness and official recognition of your chosen name.

We provide three registration and organization name reservation timelines. Upon completion, we will deliver the Articles and Certificate of Non-Profit Organization to you via email within your chosen timeline.

The Board is made up Directors, Officers and Members. All directors are same with equal status and power. We call them Director 1. Director 2,etc for convenience of filing. Otherwise they all have same role in a corporation. You can add up to 10 directors. The Non-Profit Organization must have 3 Directors.

Note: If you want to have more than five directors, first list these five directors. Later, get in touch with us, and we'll help you add more directors if needed.
