Charities today face increasing pressure to remain sustainable while staying true to their mission. Issues such as restructuring, winding up, mergers, and alternative operating models are becoming increasingly common, yet many organisations are unclear about the legal and governance implications involved.
Join our panellists as they discuss on the practical considerations charities face when contemplating structural change. The panel will discuss areas such as transitioning from a society to a company limited by guarantee, including issues around member participation and meeting quorum requirements. They will also explore what it means to wind up or merge a charity, when these options may be appropriate, and the key safeguards that should be put in place. In addition, the discussion will cover how far charities can charge for services without straying from their charitable purposes, and when setting up a social enterprise may be a suitable alternative.
This webinar is brought to you by Charity Council, Office of the Commissioner of Charities and Pro Bono SG (PBSG).
