The difference between an organization that remains non-profit and an organization that can transition into a charity was perfectly explained. Thank you.
I am planning to start a NonProfit organization. Right now, I'm on my own. In your video, you mentioned needing the addresses of 3 directors. What if I'm the sole director?
Hi Laura, thank you for your inquiry. To set up a Not For Profit, you have to include 3 individuals. We cannot complete the documentation with just one person like we can for a profit business.
You are very welcome! Glad you liked it. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us at inquiries@ontariobusinesscentral.ca OR 1-416-599-9009 :)
HI Kristine, thank you for your question. The incorporation can be completed as a charitable organization however the full status of a charity does not take affect until the secondary part is completed where you file the incorporation and application for charitable status with CRA charitable division. This secondary part with CRA can take a number of months to complete. If you wish additional information, please feel free to reach out to me via email at Laura@ontariobusinesscentral.ca
Hi Ryan, I am not sure how to answer this one. If the corporation is not yet registered, it may not be in the best interest of the community to try and get funding for the incorporation itself.
If I do choose to incorporate my NFP, can I choose whether to do so federally or provincial? Also, do I need to maintain 3 directors, or only needed to start the corporation?
Yes, you can complete either an Ontario or Federal NFP incorporation. At all times you are required to have a minimum of 3 directors for either jurisdiction.
We have been looking for a lawyer to open NGO to help homeless in Ontario but the lawyers are so expensive so could you please suggest someone who can help us starting an NGO? Thank you in advance!
I have a funny feeling if i want my np to be legit i have to pay a lot of money which wasn't explained in this video. I'm not talking crud or anything i'm just. I was homeless for a sum odd number of years and i watched people wither away and die. The street getting covered in litter. Used sharps left out uncapped for young children to play with. Now that i'm an adult and i have a place to live and just lost me job i have been trying to give back to my community and this is where i started. But i need help and i'm the only person doing this. i have no money or support, what do i do?
Hi Dave, your story is very touching and I hope you are able to fulfill this dream of helping others who are out on the streets. For a NFP, you need a minimum of 3 directors to complete the incorporation. Hopefully, you can find 2 others to join you who are as passionate about helping and get some startup costs going through your community.
@@OntarioBusinessCentral I honestly Don't have anyone that shares the same views that i do. I suffer from bpd which makes it really hard to find the courage to reach out to people. I feel like i'm drowning. I don't really know where to start looking.
This may not quite be related yet I'm at a loss in how to deal with a situation with a non profit organization. I have had a really bad experience with an organization that doesn't do anything that it claims to do online. Is there a place to go to to file a complaint?
Yes! Absolutely. It’s called supplementary letters patent. We can assist you with this at this link for ontario corporations :) www.ontariobusinesscentral.ca/forms/not-for-profit-charitable-ontario-amendment.php if for a federal we can provide a custom quote if you message us at inquiries@ontariobusinesscentral.ca

Thank you so much that was very useful!
Glad it was helpful!
Are you able to start a kickstarter to raise money to open a non profit group?
Hi Ryan, I am not sure how to answer this one. If the corporation is not yet registered, it may not be in the best interest of the community to try and get funding for the incorporation itself.
Can you start NGO, and then convert it into for profit down the line ?
Its not recommended to do that as these two businesses are viewed differently. We recommend asking your accounting or tax professional this question.
Great things
Thank you 🙏
thank you
Hope you liked it! Thanks for watching 🙏
If I do choose to incorporate my NFP, can I choose whether to do so federally or provincial?
Also, do I need to maintain 3 directors, or only needed to start the corporation?
Yes, you can complete either an Ontario or Federal NFP incorporation. At all times you are required to have a minimum of 3 directors for either jurisdiction.
Can nonprofits claim 100% of Input tax paid?
We recommended speaking to an accountant about your specific non profit.
Thank for sharing. The information is clear and easy to follow.
Not a problem!! Glad you liked the video. Let us know if we can help you with any questions you may have!
Great things

We do not offer assistance with complaints regarding organizations. Better Business Bureau may be able to assist.

According to the CRA, no entity such as a Not For Profit, or Charity needs to register.
