What is an Eligible Not for Profit organisation?

Not-for-profit organisations are groups that provide services to the community and do not try to make money for their members. Some examples are art centres, neighbourhood associations and sports clubs.

To see if your organisation is a not-for-profit we will check some things.

* What type of organisation you are registered as

* If you can receive tax gifts

* If you are incorporated or supported by another organisation

We will also look at your organisations rules and other documents to make sure it is a not-for-profit.
