NOT-FOR-PROFITS \ CHARITIES

A Not-For-Profit organisation is an incorporated or unincorporated legal entity organised and operated primarily for a collective or social benefit, as opposed to an entity that operates as a business aiming to generate a profit for its owners.

To qualify as a Charity, an organisation must provide a benefit to a significant portion of the New Zealand public.
