Global Nonprofits Guide

Published on 15 September 2022 This guide helps to navigate nonprofit laws around the world. It provides information on the registration process, internal governance structures, compliance with employment and tax regulations, reporting requirements, funding and fundraising rules and more.

DLA Piper, European Center for Not-for-Profit Law Stichting (ECNL), and PILnet are delighted to introduce you to a free tool for navigating nonprofit laws around the world. Setting up a nonprofit from the ground up can be complicated, especially when you are looking for a new location for your organization due to less favorable laws in your home country or when you are simply looking to extend your operation to other countries. The Global Nonprofits Guide will help you to unpack the laws around the world for different forms of nonprofits, the registration process, internal governance structures, compliance with employment and tax regulations.

The Guide also provides information on reporting requirements, funding and fundraising rules, and closing down nonprofits.
