How To Determine Where to Incorporate Your Ontario Nonprofit or Charity
Description
This episode helps Ontario nonprofits understand the key differences between incorporating under Ontario's Not-for-Profit Corporations Act (ONCA) and the federal Canada Not-for-profit Corporations Act (CNCA).
It clarifies that neither option is universally better and the best choice depends on the organization's specific needs and operational plans.
It highlights distinctions regarding director requirements, membership voting rights, financial standards, filing obligations, and public information disclosure.
The discussion also confirms that organizations must choose one structure, though switching is possible, and that ONCA-incorporated nonprofits can still operate and fundraise across Canada while adhering to local regulations.
