Document background
Articles of Non-Profit Organization is a mandatory legal document required for establishing and registering a non-profit organization in the United Arab Emirates. This document is essential for compliance with Federal Law No. 2 of 2008 and must be submitted to the Ministry of Community Development as part of the registration process. It defines the organization's legal identity, governance structure, operational framework, and compliance requirements. The articles serve as the constitutional document that governs all aspects of the organization's activities, from membership rights to dissolution procedures. This document is particularly crucial in the UAE context, where non-profit organizations must maintain strict compliance with both federal and emirate-level regulations, while also adhering to Islamic law principles where applicable.
