Non-Profit Hunt & Hunt has extensive experience in providing legal advice and assistance to non-profit organisations. This includes acting for charities, churches, schools, foundations, hospitals and aged care entities, sporting clubs and professional associations. The work we do for non-profit organisations starts with advising them on the structures that are available for them and helping each organisation to choose the structure that is most appropriate for their activities and objects. We are familiar with the need to establish structures that can accommodate the sometimes competing needs of different interest groups within a non-profit organisation without interfering with its everyday business and operations. We can also assist in settling the tax status of an organisation with Federal and State tax authorities. Fundraising is another important issue for many non-profit organisations. We can help to facilitate fundraising activities. We also advise on the full range of operational issues that non-profit organisations have to deal with in their day to day operations. This includes employment matters, occupational health & safety, conveyancing and leasing and agreements with third parties. We understand that while non-profit organisations share many features in common with for profit organisations, there are also important differences. Although it is important that non-profit organisations are fully funded, their activities are motivated by the objectives for which they are established and frequently also for the benefit of members or stakeholders. We can assist helping non-profit organisations to achieve those objectives. We work in this area because we are enthusiastic about the activities of our non-profit organisation clients. We understand the importance of these clients conducting their activities not only within the law but often aspiring to act above the minimum standards set by the law. We can help non-profit organisations who may not be clients of the firm because of our extensive experience in this sector. We know that no 2 non-profit organisations are the same. But we also know that our experience in acting for non-profit organisations can be used to assist other non-profit organisations to become established, and in connection with the legal issues that arise with their operational activities. Our lawyers have acted for various non-profit organisations including St Vincent de Paul Society, Anglicare, Hammond Care, The Australian Golf Club, New South Wales Bridge Association, Barker College, Pymble Ladies College and HCF.   For further information, contact John Kell  or Ian Miller.
