These constitution templates are designed to help not-for-profit organisations that are incorporated as a public company limited by guarantee (CLG) with ASIC and want to be registered as a charity with the ACNC.
They are designed to help small, charitable, not-for-profit companies limited by guarantee with straight-forward membership to create a suitable governing document.
There are five versions of the constitution template, which are tailored to companies limited by guarantee that:
- do not have and are not applying for deductible gift recipient (DGR) endorsement
- have, or are applying for, DGR endorsement as a whole and are required to maintain a gift fund
- have, or are applying for, DGR endorsement for the operation of a fund, authority, or institution
- have, or are applying for, registration as the ‘Health Promotion Charity’ subtype of charity, or
- have, or are applying for, registration as the ‘Public Benevolent Institution’ subtype of charity.
Note that these templates are not designed for use by other legal structures, such as incorporated or unincorporated associations or proprietary companies limited by shares (more commonly known as Pty Ltd). See our governing document templates and model rules for other legal structures.
