Registering as a Not for Profit Society
Prepared by BC Athletics - amended June 2003
BC Athletics has put together the following information on the benefits to
registering as a Not For Profit Society through the Registrar of
Companies, Ministry of Finance, Government of British Columbia. The intent
of this document is to bring to your attention the benefits and the
processes (as outlined on the websites listed below) to registering your
club or organization.
If you have any questions or wish to speak to a BC Athletics Member Club
that has gone through the process of registering, please contact the BC
Athletics Office at: www.bcathletics.org
or call 604-737-3173.
Reasons For:
- The registering of a group or club with the Registrar
of Companies, Province of British Columbia as a not for profit society
(non-profit society) is a process of registering a group or club as a
legal entity for the provision of limited liability for contract or
the provision of goods and services. This may apply to the group, club
or organization in the following way:
- purchase of property (lands, buildings).
- entering into contracts.
- borrowing money.
- legitimate registering of your group,
organization or club name and by doing so protect that name or
similar names from being used so as not to confuse the public.
- to receive funding from public agencies.
- to be eligible for grants or donations from
private groups, clubs or charities.
- to be eligible for grants from federal,
provincial and municipal governments.
- to be eligible for Gaming Revenue (Casino, Bingo
and others as fall into the definition of Gaming) as provided
through the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor - Gaming
Policy & Enforcement Branch.
- to open bank accounts (may be required by
financial institutions).
- to access existing tax receipt capabilities
through National Agencies (ie. use of the Athletics Canada or
National Sport Trust Fund tax receipt # through the outlined
process).
- to limit the individual and personal liability of
the directors of a club or organization - ie: buying equipment,
contracting for services or carrying out a service. NOTE: The
directors of unregistered groups or organizations would be
personally liable should the group or organization be sued.
- reduces the risk of personal liability with
regard to being sued for negligence (Tort Law). Therefore the
inclusion of Directors and Officers Liability Insurance for
errors, omissions, wrongful acts as part of the BC Athletics
liability insurance policy.
- assurance of a Board of Directors, constitution,
bylaws, operating policies, rules and regulations relative to:
- providing an operating structure for the
group or organization
- providing a degree of legitimacy for the
municipal/provincial authorities to base acceptance of the
group or organization as a legitimate entity for the purpose
of facility use, community support and grants.
- limiting the liability of the city,
municipality, provincial government relative to the activities
of the group or organization through the liability insurance
provided for.
- operating as group or organization whose
records and activities are open to public review.
- providing assurances to the provincial or
national sport governing bodies of the legitimacy of the group
or organization.
