In this webinar we will look at what is required for community broadcasters to be registered as a charity with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission. In particular we will explore the opportunities and obligations that accompany charity registration. 

We will explore opportunities such as:  

  • choosing the right subtype of charity registration for your organisation; 

  • accessing concessions and benefits that come with charity registration; 

  • choosing the right charitable corporate structure for your organisation; 

  • undertaking fundraising, commercial activities and social enterprise; and 

  • collaboration, joint-ventures and mergers with other charities, as a means to increase impact. 

 

We will also unpack the obligations of charitable registration, such as: 

  • meeting the ACNC Governance Standards; 

  • ensuring directors meet their responsibilities and duties as responsible persons; 

  • implementing and following effective policies and procedures for your organisation; and  

  • meeting reporting obligations.
