Abstract

Registration of philanthropic organizations is legally governed by the Law on Non-commercial Organizations (1999). There is no restriction to form a PO and also in terms of the purpose of a PO. Basically, there are no impediments for registering a non-commercial organization. The law does not have restrictions on possible founders of a legally registered organization. The law distinguishes three types of non-commercial organizations—a foundation, a public association, and an establishment.
