019. What sort of governing document does your organisation have?

We need this information to understand what sort of organisation you are and to check your eligibility for a Futurebuilders investment.

All applicant organisations must be constituted bodies that are charities, voluntary or community organisations, industrial and provident societies, social enterprises or community interest companies (i.e. not individuals). They therefore must:

  • Be clearly constituted for public benefit (i.e. if they are self-help groups, co-operatives or mutuals there must also be a wider public or community benefit)
  • Be unable to dispose of their assets for private gain, except as permitted for community interest companies
  • Have some non-executive (unpaid) members on their board / management committee
