A Non-Profit Sector Expanding Under National Center for Non-Profit Sector Development Oversight
The Kingdom's non-profit sector has seen increasing regulation since the establishment of the National Center for the Development of the Non-Profit Sector, which set clear frameworks for formation, governance, and financial transparency. This growing regulation means charities and non-profit organizations need precise legal understanding fundamentally different from forming an ordinary commercial company.
Establishing and Licensing Charities
We help charities meet registration and licensing requirements before the relevant authorities, from drafting the founding bylaws to meeting board of directors and general assembly requirements mandated by regulation.
Internal Governance Structures
We review their bylaws and internal governance structures, ensuring clarity in the board of directors and executive body's authorities, and the decision-making mechanism for major financial and strategic matters.
Financial Transparency Compliance
We track ongoing compliance with financial transparency regulations specific to non-profit organizations, including periodic financial reporting requirements and disclosure of funding sources and expenditure before regulatory bodies.
Fundraising and Regulatory Compliance
We help charities understand the regulatory frameworks for fundraising, whether through traditional campaigns or digital platforms, and avoid violations tied to fundraising without prior licensing.
Partnerships With the Private Sector and Sponsors
We help non-profit organizations draft partnership agreements with sponsoring companies, balancing funding requirements with preserving the organization's independent charitable decision-making.
Internal Governance Disputes Among Board Members
When disagreements arise between a charity's board members, we help resolve the dispute in a way that preserves the organization's continued operation and charitable mission, resorting to litigation only when an amicable resolution is impossible.
Charitable Waqf Endowments as a Sustainable Funding Tool
We help charitable organizations establish waqf endowments providing an independent, sustainable income source, and review the waqf deeds to ensure compliance with Sharia rulings and Saudi endowment regulations.
Volunteer Work and Volunteer Insurance
We help charities understand their legal obligations toward volunteers, including the need to insure them while performing the organization's activities to avoid liability if an injury occurs.
