Why Register Your Charity?
Registering your charity provides several benefits and is essential for the successful operation of your charitable organisation:
Legal Recognition: Registration grants your charity legal recognition, making it a distinct legal entity. This recognition is necessary for conducting various activities and transactions on behalf of your charity.
Legal Compliance: Registration ensures that your charity complies with charity law and regulations, reducing the risk of legal issues in the future.
Trust and Credibility: Registered charities often enjoy more trust and credibility among donors, supporters, and the public. It demonstrates your commitment to transparency and accountability.
Access to Funding: Many funding sources, including government grants and charitable foundations, require charities to be registered before they can apply for funding. Registration opens up opportunities for financial support.
Tax Benefits: Registered charities may be eligible for tax benefits and exemptions, including Gift Aid, which allows you to claim back tax on donations made by UK taxpayers.
