All NGOs are subject to a few basic laws in South Africa. These include the Nonprofit Organisations Act, the Income Tax Act and a range of other Acts including the Basic Conditions of Employment Act. There are increasing demands on both start-up and established NGOs to comply with these laws.

Our mission at Delaney Attorneys is to ensure that NGOs and community organisations comply with non-profit law, are well-governed and ultimately successful in their social justice endeavours.

We provide practical legal advice and assistance to NGOs. Our services include:

  • Helping you choose the correct form of non-profit legal entity
  • Applying for registration of your NGO
  • Applying for approval as PBO and s18A status
  • Strategic advice on non-profit governance procedures, policies and systems
  • Company secretarial services
  • Drafting and reviewing lease and employment contracts
  • Ensuring legal compliance with POPIA and PAIA
