Legal firm support for charities in Ukraine

In their daily work, charitable organizations come to us with the same problems:

  • Do I need to confirm the moment the charity is transferred?

Of course, yes. Otherwise, there may be a risk of receiving penalties from the Tax Service. This can be acceptance certificates, separate contracts and other documents - depending on the circumstances. In this situation, we work with our clients and either prepare templates of documents for them or maintain all documentation ourselves.

  • The need to comply with the 80/20 principle. 

A charitable organization can use no more than 20% of its income for administrative expenses. However, proper expense planning can reduce these costs. Our company can help with such planning and control of its fulfillment. 

  • Failure to match a charity's activities with what is stated in the Articles of Incorporation.

This is a problem that can be prevented even before the Foundation is established through proper drafting of the Charter.

These are just a number of problems, although we have certainly listed the most common ones. The lawyer's job is to provide legal advice and help resolve all such problems before they arise.
