Articles of Non-Profit Organization are essential founding documents required for establishing and registering a non-profit organization in Nigeria. This document must comply with the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) 2020 and be filed with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC). It is used when founding a new non-profit organization or when restructuring an existing one to ensure legal compliance. The Articles contain crucial information about the organization's purpose, governance structure, membership rules, financial management, and dissolution procedures. They serve as a constitutional document that guides all organizational activities and decision-making processes, protecting both the organization's interests and its stakeholders while ensuring transparency and accountability in accordance with Nigerian law.
