Articles Of Association Non Profit documents are essential when establishing a non-profit organization in Switzerland. This foundational document is required under Swiss law and must be prepared in accordance with Articles 60-79 of the Swiss Civil Code (ZGB). It serves multiple purposes: establishing the organization's legal existence, defining its charitable or non-profit purposes, setting up governance structures, and ensuring compliance with tax-exempt status requirements. The document becomes particularly important when registering with cantonal authorities, opening bank accounts, and applying for tax exemption. It must be drafted carefully to address both current operational needs and potential future developments of the organization, while maintaining alignment with Swiss regulatory requirements for non-profit entities.
