Not-for-Profit Incorporation

I have incorporated a Not-for-Profit. What are my obligations now?

‍
1. First AGM: Once incorporated, the incorporators must call a first meeting of directors. At this meeting, the Directors should, at minimum, a. make by-laws, b. appoint officers, c. issue memberships, and d. make banking arrangements.

2. Extra-Provincial Registration: If incorporated federally, the incorporators should next file extra-provincial registration in the province(s) where the non-profit will be operating.

3. Annual Returns: The Incorporators must ensure to file annual returns (if the NFP was incorporated federally) with Corporations Canada. If the annual return is not filed, the corporation risks being dissolved.

4. When there is a change in directors or head office address, the corporation must file the requisite forms advising the government of such changes (if federally incorporated, a Form 4003 for changing the address and Form 4006 to change the Directors).
