Document background
Not For Profit Articles of Association are essential governing documents required when establishing a not-for-profit organization in Hong Kong. This document is typically used when incorporating a company limited by guarantee under the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622), particularly for organizations pursuing charitable, educational, cultural, or social welfare objectives. It contains crucial information about the organization's purposes, membership structure, governance framework, and asset management protocols. The document must comply with Hong Kong's legal requirements while incorporating specific provisions that maintain the organization's not-for-profit status and potential tax exemption eligibility. It serves as the foundation for all organizational decisions and operations, protecting both the organization's mission and stakeholders' interests.
