Articles of Association for a Non-Profit Organisation are essential when establishing a non-profit entity in Hong Kong, typically structured as a company limited by guarantee under the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622). This document is required during the incorporation process and serves as the organization's constitution, defining its charitable or non-profit purposes, governance structure, and operational framework. It must comply with Hong Kong's legal requirements while accommodating the specific needs of non-profit operations, including provisions for tax exemption under Section 88 of the Inland Revenue Ordinance. The document is crucial for organizations seeking recognition as a charitable institution and provides the foundation for good governance practices.
