In the dynamic landscape of non-profit organizations, staying abreast of current legislation is crucial for ensuring legal compliance and operational efficiency. KEHSIA, committed to promoting science, innovation, and community empowerment, recognizes this necessity. This commitment was exemplified by our participation in the event “New Law on Non-Profits Associations and Foundations” hosted by the Come Together community, where Anita Helpiquet from CLAE provided critical insights into the law enacted on August 7, 2023.
Understanding the New Legislation
The central question addressed during the event was: “Is your non-profit still legally conform under the new law?” Anita Helpiquet offered a detailed explanation of the new legal framework and its implications for non-profit associations.
Key Points Highlighted by Helpiquet:
- Increased Obligations: The new law introduces additional obligations for non-profit organizations. It is essential for these entities to review and adjust their operations to meet these new requirements.
- Clarity on Statutory Functioning: One of the significant advantages of the new law is the increased clarity it provides on the statutory functioning of nonprofits. This clarity helps organizations better understand their legal standing and operational boundaries.
- Potential Consequences: While the new legal framework aims to streamline non-profit operations, it also brings potential consequences. Organizations need to be proactive in understanding and implementing these changes to avoid legal pitfalls.
