Document Overview

This document sets out practical rules for an unincorporated charitable organisation with respect to key management and operational areas such as committee structure, decision-making processes, member registration, contracting and indemnification.

This document allows you to clearly define the purposes of your unincorporated charitable organisation and the implications of deviating from these purposes.
