ENTITY TYPE

Entity type

Type of charity – legal structure

All charitable organisations who register with the ACNC will need to ensure their governing documents (for example, their rules, constitution, trust deed, rule book or articles of association) are correctly aligned to the charity’s legal structure, that meet the requirements in order to register with the ACNC.

Incorporated legal structures

There are several incorporated legal structures that your charity may have:

Incorporated associations: This is the most common legal structure for registered charities. The name will be something like ‘XYZ Incorporated’ or ‘XYZ Inc’.

Companies limited by guarantee: This is the second most common structure for registered charities. The name will be something like ‘XYZ Limited’ or “XYZ Ltd’.

Non-trading co-operatives: Co-operatives generally include the words ‘Cooperative’ and ‘Limited’ or ‘Ltd’ in their name.

Indigenous corporations: Some Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations are registered as corporations under the Corporations (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) Act 2006 (Cth) (CATSI Act). These corporations are regulated by the Office of the Registrar of Indigenous Corporations (ORIC). They usually have a name like ‘XYZ Aboriginal Corporation’.

Unincorporated legal structures

If your charity is not incorporated, it could be a trust (for example, ‘XYZ Fund’, or ‘XYZ Foundation’) or an unincorporated association (a less formal structure, with no separate legal identity).

Further information can be found on the ACNC website.

DGR Status

Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) Items

Only certain organisations are entitled to receive income tax deductible gifts and tax deductible contributions. They are called Deductible Gift Recipients (DGRs).

All DGRs have to be endorsed by the ATO unless they are listed by name in the income tax law. There are two types of DGR endorsement:

• where an entity is endorsed as a whole, for example, public hospitals or public universities
• where an entity is endorsed for the operation of a fund, authority or institution that it owns or includes, for example, school building funds or council libraries.

For the second type, only gifts to the fund, authority or institution are tax deductible.

For more information visit the not-for-profit  page on the ATO website.

Item numbers

The income tax law specifies the funds, authorities or institutions that may be DGRs.

• Item 1 refers you to lists of funds, authorities and institutions such as public hospitals, overseas aid funds and public museums (including entities listed by name).
• Item 2 are called ancillary funds and describes funds set up solely for:
  • providing money, property or benefits for Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) covered by item 1, or
  • the establishment of such DGRs.
• Item 4 describes funds, authorities or institutions that may receive donations of property under the Cultural Gifts Program.
