Articles of Incorporation Foundation documents are essential when establishing a non-profit organization in Hong Kong as a company limited by guarantee. These articles serve as the foundation's constitution and are required for registration with the Hong Kong Companies Registry under the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622). The document is used when founders wish to create a formal, structured charitable organization with legal personality separate from its members. It includes crucial information about the foundation's purposes, governance structure, membership requirements, and operational procedures. The articles must comply with Hong Kong's legal framework for charitable organizations and typically require approval from both the Companies Registry and, if seeking tax exemption, the Inland Revenue Department. This document is particularly important as it sets the permanent framework for the foundation's operations and can only be modified through specific procedures defined by law.
