Starting a Not-for-profit Organisation - Jan 2027

About this event

Setting up a not-for-profit organisation but not sure where to start? Let us help!

Our FREE introductory webinar will help you get across the legal basics of setting up and getting started. We’ll take you through how to decide which legal structure is best for you, whether you should incorporate, as well as how to set up and register your organisation.

We'll cover:

• Key steps when starting out

• The pros and cons of incorporation

• Different common legal structures for not-for-profit organisations

• Basics of charity status and tax concessions

• Additional resources to help with the process

What participants have said:

• “Clear information, engaging presenters - a lot packed in to an introductory session and plenty of links and referrals to more in-depth information, tools and resources.”

• "The information was really clear and comprehensive without feeling overly complicated. Lots of advice on how to find further information online. I feel more confident in some of the basic concepts now and feel like I know where to go for more information, as I need it. This webinar was a really great introduction into some topics that were feeling 'big and scary' - you've made it feel achievable to go forward with next steps.”

• "Complex information delivered in plain language always a win in my books.”

You'll receive:

• 75 minutes of plain-language training from a lawyer

• Copy of webinar recording (accessible for 3 months) and slide handout

• Information on further resources and support

Who should attend:

Anyone involved in a not-for-profit organisation who wants to learn more about their constitution or who is thinking about creating or changing a constitution.
