  • Helping to refine your charitable purpose
  • Preparing a constitution that is tailored for your organisation
  • Dealing with all relevant regulators, including the ACNC, the ATO and ASIC (or the relevant State regulator)
  • Ensuring you can access all the tax concessions and endorsements you are entitled to, including DGR endorsement (if appropriate)
  • Equipping you with essential policies to support compliant governance
  • Assisting you to protect directors and officers against liability

How we helped a recent client:

The desire to make a difference motivated this group of individuals to start a charity.

Dealing with multiple regulators, Moores incorporated the entity, arranged its registration as a charity and obtained all relevant tax concessions.

As the inaugural board had not previously governed a charity, Moores provided tailored training to help them understand their role and governance responsibilities.

We also provided policies and a board charter to help establish a governance framework flexible enough to grow with their organisation.

    The team

    • We felt very confident in the advice provided by Moores and appreciate their expertise in the not-for-profit space.

      Their responses were always prompt, and their staff were professional and knowledgeable.

    • As a client, I interacted with Mr. Yoni Ungar and his team recently and this team is a breath of fresh air.

      I've dealt with a few other legal firms in the past on different matters and by far this one is the most satisfying experience of all.

    • Rebecca and her team demonstrate that they genuinely care about our NFP organisation.

      They are always timely in responses and provide good practical advice when addressing a specific concern or problem that we are trying to solve.
