Non-Profit Company (NPC) Constitution
R999
Create a governance constitution or internal rules document for a non-profit company, aligned with its MOI, directors, members, objects, meetings, finances, conflicts, and dissolution rules.
An NPC Constitution is used as a governance document or internal rules document for a non-profit company. It should align with the company’s MOI and regulate members, directors, committees, meetings, objects, finances, conflicts, accountability, and dissolution.
South African legal context (2026 checklist)
An NPC’s primary constitutional document is its Memorandum of Incorporation. A separate constitution or governance policy must not conflict with the Companies Act or MOI. NPC income and property must be used to advance the NPC’s stated objects and not distributed as private profit.
