Formal registration as a Non-Profit
Formal registration of ATC as a not for profit voluntary association for public benefit
The ATC Committee has taken the decision to formally register ATC Multisport as a not for profit voluntary association for public benefit.
This stands as a milestone in the history of ATC and will ultimately assist in the financial sustainability of the club and in particular, our development efforts.
To this end we have welcomed the voluntary assistance of an ATC Member, with expertise in this field, along with a non-profit lawyer, both of whom have offered their assistance pro bono.
In order to realize this goal, the management com will need to draft an annexure to the constitution containing a substantive clause
This assistance has already provided extremely useful in terms of recommended changes to our constitution, to reflect the relevant requirements of the Tax Act. The proposed changes are summarised below:
· A number of the changes are merely re-arranging what is already in our constitution but are required to state our Sole Purpose and Values more clearly.
· We need to state the minimum and maximum number of committee members. This is currently implied but not stipulated.
· We need to make provision for the club to remunerate certain positions, such as the Secretary or Development Officer. Our current constitution does not specifically prevent remuneration but it doesn’t specifically permit it or state how the remuneration sum will be determined.
We will distribute the exact proposed changes to all members this weekend and request that any objections or comments please be communicated to us before the meeting, either by return email or through the RSVP link.
