Charities
Any organisation or club collecting money or goods from the public for charitable purposes, needs to be licensed under the Charitable Collections Act. There is no fee required for a licence, however each of the Principal Executive Officers must provide a NATIONAL POLICE CLEARANCE.
To become a charity, you need to contact the Charitable Collections Advisory Committee. This Committee consists of five independent members appointed by the Governor. Once the Committee receives an application for registration, the Committee makes recommendations in regard to the licensing of an organisation to the Department's Minister .
